Organizations like TIME build lists for ‘experts’ and the general public. It’s like Forbes talking about the “top 30 under 30”. It’s all so unfortunate.

YC at #4 is such elite rage bait that I almost respect the methodology for maximizing engagement

I've beaten out Techstars, MassChallenge, and TB Wave on competitive deals in the past at my current accelerator/employer. I have never, and will never, beat out Neo, HF0, or YC on a deal. This list is very far removed from how any of us in the ecosystem see the power rankings.

If I ran YC I'd pay to not be featured here. This is like the who's who of NOBODY knows who.
