I'd start a seed fund that specialized in startups driven by technical entrepreneurs and mentor them / provide them with connections to investors. HN would be the major channel for getting new startups to apply.

Yes; The observation is that HN does monetize. It's effectively a filtering mechanism and advertising tool for YC and YC companies.
