VCs are a weak signal. I've applied to many of the YC backed ones in my region. All of them have completely different cultures. YC is adamant on being product first and not running out of money, but it doesn't really change much.

I would look at it like university. It's a good early filter and it matters somewhat at mature stages. But there are terrible people from Harvard too, and there are great people who have never went to university.
