#4What is left for TechStars to copy from Y Combinator? The only thing I can think of is Paul and Jessica's baby, and the logistics behind that are scary.

Well I can't see who is theirs' Matt Maroon, but I don't know if the world can stand two of those! :D That would be too much genius in the world, of course!

More early stage venture firms is a good things. Copying good things, like open legal docs, is a good thing. The only thing I've heard I didn't like was setting deadlines to exclude YC, and I haven't heard definitive specifics on that.

Different feel, same instrument is all.
Again, these aren't the documents that YC and TS use for their admitted companies; these are the docs for the round after that. These are actually more useful than the internal YC/TS documents, since you can use these documents for your discussions with angel investors outside of a YC/TS program.
Again, I prefer the Techstars documents because they're more similar to standard Series A/B/C VC documents that I saw in my prior life as a lowly VC Analyst (still bitter I didn't negotiate the Associate title). But thanks to both Y Combinator and Techstars for releasing this stuff. They're both much, much better than the model NVCA documents for a potential angel round. You can't go wrong with either.

Well, ask around and you'll hear some other things.
