Heard similar opinions from other YC founders before.

I think any educational system will run into similar issues.

The problem is that the system takes over and becomes more important than the original goal of educating, coaching, helping. And instead it just becomes a conversions and return optimizer.

At the end the individuals don’t matter as long as the aggregate produces good enough results.



The original goal was to make money by investing in early-stage startups, and that's still the goal.

It's true that the energy has changed from "let's hack the economy / see if this works" to "yup it works".
