Although most comments here are kind of negative, I just want to say initiatives like this are amazing.
Not sure what kind of ideas you’ll fund but there are lots of really smart people who love to tinker and solve problems. Being able to give them some runaway fuel so they can focus on problem solving rather than staying alive by taking a job they don’t love can go a long way.
When YC started, no one knew what it would become. It had good intentions, some money and a pool of wiling young folks to bust their asses.
And I think that concoction is amazing. Mentoring + network + funding + talent.
