The article starts with: "The problem is obvious: it’s hard to launch a startup" Really? Seems contradictory to what I see & read elsewhere.

Should probably be qualified better: "The problem is obvious. It's hard to take a startup and turn it into a successful company."

FYI, as a founder for a startup recently accepted into AngelPad, I added a detailed response on how it's different from Y-Combinator: http://www.quora.com/How-is-AngelPad-different-from-Y-Combin...

Very interesting change of perspective. I think there's definitely room to experiment with tweaks of this caliber on YC's model (not so say that YC needs tweaking themselves).

I'm excited to see what they come up with!

Everybody needs tweaking, nothing is perfect.
