>That's just fantasy.

YCombinator started partially to change the fantasy.

Not fantasy at all. Below recent video from YC for technical founders on balance that's not occurring.

The lack of healthy balance between founders leads to risking investments more than they are.

If the VC model is imablanced and it incentivizes non-tech founders to do the same, both will need to understand the cheaper it gets to build and scale larger and larger.

Leveraging young founders or tech talent who might not know any better won't last long, it seems founders are learning from the experiences of others now that there have been so many more funded startups.

YC clearly talks about avoiding co-founders and situations that rip off the technical founder when they are creating so much equal value to anyone else in the start.

"How not to get screwed as a software engineer".

What they see in applications from a mile away from people being exploited in applications.
