We just hire whoever we think will be best at advising startups. When they are too well known people complain. When they are not well-known enough people complain.

But as long as the startups get good advice I'm happy.

Super thrilled about Anne. YC could use more exposure to biotech, and aspiring biotech-ers could use an open, accepting mind. Great choice.

Had similar thoughts regarding Anne. I'm working in a boomed field the potentials for startups in biotech will be expanding rapidly. Otherwise I've been unsure about the goals/strategies of YC regarding non-app based startups.
