Vinod Khosla: ?I Feel Sad Sometimes For Y Combinator Companies That Get So Much Hype?

The legendary mentor Vinod Khosla criticized accelerators like Y Combinator who produce startups with overly slick pitches that he says garner "so much hype that they get valuations that no one who will help the team are going to pay." During his TechCrunch Disrupt talk, Khosla explained that the key role of early investors is not funding, but personal attention and guidance. But generating buzz too early can inflate a startup's?market cap and make them a less lucrative investment of time and money for the top-tier advisors they need. That leads to critical missteps like poor hiring decisions that can doom a startup.
