Is it possible to pitch to the YC team any time during the year, not just during the application seasons? What's the reasoning behind having the twice a year rounds, as opposed to open for investing at any time? EDIT to clarify: I understand why they have startups move to California for three months. I've simply never heard why that has to be done seasonally.

It's for economy of scale for presentations, demo day, etc. Also to make it easier for YC to keep track of what stage people are at - i.e. all 3 weeks in, etc. Having people start any time creates more administrative work.
