While I agree that advice is priceless, don't most startups join YC so they can connect with VC's by the end of the program?

Well, that's truth and deeply depends on aims of startups. Sometime, as I see, people try out their Ideas and themselves. As Paul Graham mentioned in following post: "15% of teams change their idea after being accepted."

So, perhaps, if funding is not the case with your startup, I would think about strong media coverage after participating in YC. Which can lead to more customers.
