Ask HN: Why Is Sam Altman a Big Deal in Silicon Valley

I Understand he runs ycombinator and is barely 30. What makes him so influential? Is it his knowledge of startups? Is it his ability to see trends on or past the horizon ? Or is he just Henry knowledgeable when it comes to entrepreneurship? Just trying to understand the person who is at the center or a lot of money and opportunities that make or break young entrepreneurs.
