The first group will be in SF. TBD on other groups. But unlike startups we fund, these people work for a YC organization, so we will provide space etc.

- Schwolop 11y agoAs I keep chiming in whenever YC and location come up - please seriously consider Australia's East Coast. Like the valley, there is a big supply of world class universities and their graduates, and there's also great weather and quality of life that keeps people from wanting to leave. What's missing is an American style risk tolerance amongst the holders of capital. That's changing, but it's something YC could change even faster with an organisation like YCR. Our government has historically underfunded research, and even more often one side funds it then the other gets into power and cuts it again. As a result, there are lots of ex-academics looking for more interesting ways of earning a living!
