Not everyone tries to get funded by Y-Combinator for the ~$18,000. A lot more is offered; network, talent, investors etc..

I am in no way saying that's all you get from YC. I'm just saying that I disagree with a pretty common opinion that you starting a company without being funded by YC (or etc.) is ridiculous.
