After looking at the venturebeat.com list, I am always excited whenever I gain a new awareness of some of the innovative ideas of other upstarts. As for the All Things Digital article, the opportunities coming together for the Y Combinator groups of the future are growing. It's nice to know that there is a real hunger out there among investors to invest in the advancement of innovation.

As demo day grows, it no doubt provides evidence that Y Combinator is giving investors comfort in knowing that those individuals in which they are investing have been first selected and then have taken them through the process of mentoring them for several months in a tech company "graduate school" type of training. I am sure that an added benefit to investors is also knowing that those in which they invest will also receive an ongoing mentorship support that can only serve to aid stability and growth. That's a win-win for everyone involved.
