I can't imagine the monetary investment from YC is more significant than the advice and mentoring that you get. Raising $20k isn't impossibly hard. Finding the right mentors is.

Off topic, but an old aphorism is, "If you want advice, ask for money. If you want money, ask for advice." In some ways, asking YC for money is a way of asking for advice and constraining YC to prove that they're sincere.
