My guess is someone without apparent downside and with effectiveness from YC&#x27;s point of view. By which I mean YC doesn&#x27;t see a potential red or yellow flag and can see a likelihood that whatever gets done will get done quickly...if they&#x27;re going to fail they will fail fast and move forward.<p>Of course that&#x27;s just a guess based hanging around on HN not inside information or drinks with YC alums.
