They lost a TechCruncher to entrepreneurship, not Y Combinator.

Technically, using the word "entrepreneurship" in the headline would have been less precise and convey less information. So I must agree with the editor's choice to say YCombinator.

And yes, it makes for a more catchy headline too ;-)

Erm. Can it not be both?

No. One is sensationalist link-bait, other is a fact.

wait, which one is which?

but i've always thought "y combinator is entrepreneurship"... (yelled as in "soylent green ...")

He could have reiterated entrepreneurship within the article, but we get the point.

Fact: They are losing a TC-er,

Sensationalist link-bait: They are losing him to Y Combinator.

Generally speaking, HN patience towards everything BS that comes from TC is very appalling.
