Take that in your faces "Elite" startups, you wouldn't be selected, you're not even "Ultra elite"!<p>More seriously though, I respect the initiative, but I would love to hear why this particular vocabulary is employed (from the website and the company's website):
[ "ninja", "ultra", "elite", "brotherhood", "sisterhood" ]. I don't believe you say that randomly and you want to appeal to a certain population with these words but don't you think you'll only attract bozos and pretentious people?<p>For your website ( given in the comments) please no violent transitions like that, it's really bad for slow computers like mine. If anything I would have think that ninjas love discretion...
Kudos, I adore this idea.<p>You should see if YC will fund η-Reduce during the next cycle. I can imagine them getting a kick out of funding their own disruption.

Right in the first paragraph it says "... they’re introducing a new, more open ...". I don't know much about other incubators but can't really understand why YC would be considered less "open" or "exclusive".<p>My understanding is that powerful incubators form around influential and visionary people (with money or good connections) so it may not be a good aspiration model for startups.
Do you want to join an ultra elite ninja brotherhood?<p>Hell yeah! Let me fetch my nunchucks.<p>I would like to see this project succeed, but the language used (too much enthusiasm?) makes me skeptical. Anyhow, good luck guys.
