"It's nice to see more programs like these starting up, even if they do feel a little derivative of YC."

I don't understand - Are you disappointed that these programs try to emulate YC?




I'm not disappointed by it--in fact, I think it's a good thing. That being said, I don't think it hurts to acknowledge the source.


To be fair, small business incubators have existed for decades. And yes, I know that YCombinator is not an incubator per se, but the fundamental idea of nurturing a new cohort of startups each year with standardized terms is not exactly new.
