Completely agree, but in Silicon Valley usually applies to solving hard problems that involves technology and not hard problems that involve changing legislation unless it is the "ask for forgiveness, not permission" approach of an Uber or AirBnB. I don't see that approach working in a space where medical care is being given.

Licensing boards and organizations for medical care and legal advice are well funded and smart. These are not exactly the organizations you want to be up against as a startup. Taxi commissions are trivial adversaries in comparison.

If you want to solve hard problems that involve changing legislation, then you need to be on the other side of the country in Washington D.C. YCombinator and other accelarators, incubators and tech investors are hardly equipped and networked to help a startup in the policy arena succeed. It's simply a bad investment.
