I was wondering if YCombinator is looking to partner up with industries like TechStars has with Disney and Sprint?

It would be awesome to see Y and or TechStars or another incubator team up with the Recording Industry! I'm surprised that industry hasn't already established an accelerator.

Seems unlikely. YC doesn't need the money, so it would just be a distraction.

Yeah wasn't thinking about the money more so YC being an impetus in getting the industry to loosen it's copyright belt. At least for incubated companies.

YC is all about changing the game. Their game needs to be changed and it would be a win for them!

On a different note last year we applied and got denied, but a week later we we're invited to demo our novel tech to a company out in the valley. Not sure how that happened, but it was a good start to our story & journey!

cheers
