I would participate in this, but not given away to folks for free.

I think having startups work/live in one really cool space can be really interesting and valuable, but they'd all have to pay rent. A "frat house" but for startups & geeks? I dig.

Back before I knew of YC, I schemed on the idea of having a startup frat. Where pledges bust ass to build products, apps, etc. The profits are shared with those that built them, but also heavily reinvested back into the frat... But then I never went back to college. :)

PG made a good point that YC is focused on the good founders on the margin of being great. A few guys who go to school with me here at Berkeley are focused on the flip side of that. People who are starting something smaller, and need just a bit of a push. They call is Agora House, where founder live in a the House, after serious vetting.
