I realize it's hard to predict what direction a company will take in the future, but is it YCombinator's policy to incubate companies that from the start seem to be competing against each other? It seems to me that ListRunner and Medisas (http://www.forbes.com/sites/alextaub/2014/04/24/meet-medisas...) do pretty much exactly the same thing.

YC has stated several times that often companies will change ideas after they get into YC. YC thus isn't going to tell them to not do something just because it competes with another YC company.
