    Entrepreneur Hotels, Y-Combinator, and Dead VCs

    Great post, Nathaniel. I think YCombinator has done an incredible thing in proving and popularizing the fact that startups in general, and web startups specifically, can be started without VC. YCombinator is a great model for technical founders but I think it has and will give rise to a range of alternatives that will create more efficient ways for building a business including a non-profit or social business. A social entreprenuer who has a killer idea but lack technical skills may not be fit for a YCombinator model, but find the right answer in BetterLabs or other similar new age incubators where the focus is less on infrastructure support and more on getting the concept to market for customer validation and feedback.
