In the TechCrunch article they quote you on the following:

"... Our founders are a little older than the typical incubator crowd, with some experience... "

Can you elaborate? Why? Is Angelpad less hacker-oriented in comparison to YC? How do you relate?

I won't answer for Thomas, but:

No, I definitely wouldn't say angelPad is less hacker-oriented. It just means their 'market niche' is more about experienced individuals, with some work experience at startups, etc. Of course, our class (I was in W11) had both experienced people who were on the scale of Product Manager at Youtube to just great coders. AngelPad is like an older, wiser YC that seemed to seek to build companies with slightly bigger ideas than YC, focused on more hands-on mentorship.
