Let's face it, designers are helpers. That's why YC wants to provide them to the startup they believe in. Sometimes there are diamonds hidden behind poor graphic designs. They know that.
The bad news is that it is not exactly "cheap".
Question: is there such a thing as a "no distraction design", ie a graphic design that exposes the true value of the technology, ie a design that is the contrary of a great makeup on an ugly face?
Such a thing would help figure out what deserves attention, from a technological point of view.
Another benefit, given that developers are sometimes poor at graphic design, it would also "remove" some ugly makeup from nice looking face...

This applies for design as well. I think you should read a little more about what design is before you go around saying a designer is a pair of hands who knows photoshop.
