I'm not against the idea; quite the contrary, the more the better. The problem is that most of those copies of YCombinator aren't even started by hackers and they just basically copy their model while at the same time pretending they know the "european way".

In terms of knowing a thing or two about Europe, they probably do, because they are successful European businessmen (and women?).

If they aren't hackers... well, I suppose that just leaves space in the market for someone to go them one better, no?

Basically my point is: as good as the original? Probably not. Good enough, and better than nothing for some people? Probably.
