Challenge To Accelerators

Wow, tonight I received my first ever invite to apply to Y Combinator. This is a first for them. I'm stunned. I threw my hands in the air with disbelief! Why would they even need to invite my team and I to apply? Y Combinator is the top accelerator in the world and they don't need to advertise or invite past applicants to apply again. They get thousands of applicants each cycle. 

So here it is:

Here is what I think all accelerators should do. Well, MUST DO, if they are cool. Out of all your applicants you should pick one team as a "Wild Card". One team that does not have to be subjected to the "interview" one team that just has that something odd about it. One team that's application may have really sucked. One team that knows, they are only there because they got the "Wild Card". That team knows they have to prove themselves because they didn't pass the application, and they got a free pass on the interview. No team will know who the wild card team is. 

Just do it. Let someone in that you normally would not let in. Each cycle. See what happens.
