I need to edit my wording of that description. It was actually a mix of potential founders, as well as people that have gone through Y Combinator, TechStars, etc.
Amongst the founders that have been through Y Combinator, the "connections to capital" was virtually the same score, "brand and alumni connections" was higher than the overall average, and the other factors were all lower than the overall averages.
The non-founders actually rated "connections to capital" marginally lower than the overall group (YC + others) of funded-founders.
