Meh.

>The issue, however, is that they never truly grasped the factors behind their success, which is why YC's peak is already behind them—it’s likely all downhill from here.

I haven't been to YC but I read Paul Graham and get the impression he has a pretty good idea of the factors behind their succcess and this guy who I think hasn't been and does not live in the US does not.

YC wasn't pesitigious at the start but went out of the way to help startups and encourage them to 'build something people want' and I think that goes on.
