pg said: "We've now funded so many different types of founders that we have enough data to see patterns, and there seems to be no benefit from working for a big company."
I assume he's funding companies in the States? One of the bigger advantages of working for a large(r) company is health insurance. Or do all of Y Combinator's startups have good health insurance?
And as others have written, things involving "stuff" tend to need to scale. This might not be a problem in that pg might be confining his remarks to software startups, not things like engineering or science companies?
The odd thing, is that many bloggers have written that while it's great to do a startup, it's crap to work for one. So if it's crap to work for a startup AND for a larger company, I guess everything will be done in groups of 2-4 people?!
