Wow most excellent comment.

Yes, RICH Bill Gates had his father most powerful lawyer in Seattle. Larry Ellison had the CIA/NSA's full backing.

If you want to be over $100M company, U must be involved with the GOV ( real secret shadow gov, not the public circus )

Helping poor people to be entrepreneurs is not what they really want, I think they have other priorities.

If U study 'richest man in babylon' you can see that in all human history it's 2-3% of all men who always get all the money, its just human nature, a 'real' entrepreneur first and foremost must be a member of that genetic 3%.

YC is a VC firm, their job is to get 100X return for their, and their clients ROI, that means they must find good investments and convince young-in's to sign over all their rights to the lawyers.

I'm a firm believer in boot-strap startup, so that when the game is over, U own it all, 100%, otherwise you just waste your life for other people.
