Just plain marketing. In reality they will invest in incremental startups of serial entrepreneurs or well known people in silicon valley.

They became traditional corporate long ago. Shows in their recent portfolio.

Seeing as I just recently talked to two young students who got in and also know someone from my college days who was accepted for the W24 batch this doesn't seem very correct to me.

Notably neither of those two groups of people are SV based, both NYC affiliated.
