For ag-related hardware startups that may require frequent in-the-field testing, how will that reconcile with YC's relocation requirement?

- bpicolo 10y agoIn San Francisco you aren't so far whole a whole lot of farmland
- snerbles 10y agoIt's a pain if you're relocating from said farmland, even if it's only in Modesto or Fresno.
- bpicolo 10y agoYeah. That said, there's certainly prior art here (Farmlogs)
- vollmarj 10y agoYeah, we (FarmLogs) did YC in Mountain View and realized that needing to get on a plane every time we wanted to visit a customer was just not worth it. We picked up and moved back to the Midwest after YC to be near our customers. You can either commit to getting on an airplane often, or find ways to test in simulated environments instead. My guess is you will need some combination of both.
