Well...that's usually the feedback we hear from YC-founders themselves. There is competition, but it is friendly, not adversarial like the tech press likes to paint.

But, if I recall correctly, I distinctly remember PG & gang bristling when they hear this - because they don't want to feed any competition at all.

Well....that's just my impression, as an outsider looking in anyway.

Either way, this is an intriguing concept for sure :)
