One of the things that differentiates us from other programs is we don&#x27;t have outsourced &#x27;mentors&#x27;.  The advice you get during YC is from the full-time partners and a small group of part-time partners.<p>I think this is important to maintain--we give good advice largely because we think about advising startups all the time.  Bringing people in and out to do it occasionally hasn&#x27;t worked that well for us.
