"One initiative, Y Combinator, is trying to change that dynamic - futilely, so far."

They must see that this is not true. Are they not aware of the many success stories so far? VC circles/models across the globe are being changed by YC based on these successes.

He just means futilely trying to change the atmosphere in Boston. Which was true till recently. But I'm getting more hopeful. So many investors are signing up for the Boston Demo Day that we're starting to worry whether we'll have room.

Other than the fact they are likely to invest in young/the startups, what (if any) are the criteria for inviting investors?
