Title: One thing that hasn't been mentioned much is that, after making such a significant financial commitment, Yuri Milner/DST will probably have some say in who gets picked for YC. Does this mean that the next batch of YC startups will be more closely aligned with those investors' goals? For example, DST has pledged to invest heavily in social media. Does that lead to more social startups in the next batch? Would YC still fund, say, a hardware or enterprise software startup?
