Why not give YC a 7% ownership of the IP and YC the other 93%. That would definitely drive the more entrepreneurial scientists to work there and also allow YC to monetize products out it's own research.

I have some ideas on technologies that are harder to create and takes time, but actually want to own the IP at the end.

I suspect that one of these "YCs" is supposed to be someone other than YC, but its not clear which one.
