Why, one can do both :). (eg. Pebble is funded by Kickstarter, but the creators are an YC company)

Anyway, the most important thing is: make it happen, make it happen fast, and don't let it become another CodeBubbles - an IDE idea with a video that captured imagination of programers few years ago, but implementation of which is yet to be seen.
