You can't really recreate this kind of company anyway. What started as a unique idea has become a viable business by creating a unique set of networks and cultures. It's not really about the idea anymore, they've got capital and inertia.

Good luck copying that.

Maybe not Y Combinator as it is now. But you sure can copy the way they invested in the beginning. Not every idea YC is funding is a huge success I assume. and not every team they don't invest in will fail. So there should be a lot of opportunities there. That is where all the other accelerators step in. Given how hard it is to get seed funding in Germany the space is not yet fully occupied it seems.
