No, it's definitely not. So where's the YC clone that does $80k per founder? I'd bet they will achieve a significantly higher success rate than YC does. More experienced, hungrier, stable founders who are highly motivated not to return to their cubes because they already know how much it sucks.

I conjecture that these kinds of people will tend to be more risk averse and that the group will have a better median result (and higher success rate).

But startup successes can be massive and a better strategy might be to chase the blockbusters with younger people.


Hey New Haven, are you listening??
