>>Or put in another way: Should you network with YC alumni in case you ever want to apply?
Absolutely, yes. It doesn't mean that you will certainly get in, but having a professional relationship with one or more influential YC alumni will be very helpful.
Like almost anywhere else in life, networking is an essential business skill to have and use.

Why not? Relationships give trust. On the other hand I think if you don't have any relationship but your business is obviously good I am sure you will be selected.
