However the "Apply page" is highly misleading:

So are water applications on a rolling basis or all of them?
- cbcoutinho 10y agoIt also reads as if you will be moving to the Bay Area now - did they already make choices or was there a typo? The article is from today, but the rest of the details make me think otherwise. It's pretty confusing.. Another thing to think about - why move to the Bay Area? Water is not a software problem; water is an infrastructure, political, energy intensive (we're talking drinking water, right?), and most importantly cost prohibitive problem. What does moving to the Bay Area get you in this arrangement - besides access to YC people?
- s0rce 10y agoIf you are doing scientific R&D, the bay area has access to analytical facilities at Stanford, Berkeley and a few DOE labs. It's not the worst place in this regard. I'm sure you could manage in plenty of other places also, say Boston, for example. Source: I work at a startup in the bay area doing materials science research.
- cbcoutinho 10y agoThat's true, but I'm not sure you would have access to those institutions through YC unless you or your team have prior contacts at one of them. What's the startup?
- sctb 10y agoAll applications are open on a rolling basis; the October 4 deadline is for the Winter 2017 batch. Applications for W17 after that time are still considered for late entry into the batch, but once things are well underway applications will switch to S17.
