YCombinator is the best thing to happen to startups..However if you look at folks like Jobs and Musk etc, their main reason for having a company is so that they can build the products they envision(everything else is secondary). You started making product(sold to Yahoo) but switched to being an incubator and mentor. Any reasons? Isn't making products more satisfying than being incubator/mentor?
If higher-order functions can produce functions, could there be a higher order companies which produce companies?<p>The name YCombinator is not accidental. The holy-grail is the fixed-point for startups.
