I didn't -say- that was his argument, therefore its not a strawman . I was simply providing an example to illustrate (with hyperbole) the comment I made in the previous sentence. The one you snipped out.
You've essentially repeated my point, elsewhere in this thread, by claiming that the value added comes down the "network" of said angels not just the personal networks but all of the non-financial considerations.
Does being a YC versus an average angel-funded company get you more press? How many TC writeups, on average, do you think being YC funded gets you? How much money is that worth? How much page rank is that worth? This is important because he specifically talks about "marketing" as an important early expense, and yet YC provides quite a bit of it, for free.
