Interesting to see more focus on non-American markets in this batch.
- nostrademons 10y agoI think this has been a trend over the last few batches. PG has a tweet in early 2015 (?) where he said something like "Interesting how many YC founders in the latest batch are international. We may have reached a tipping point." Makes sense, we're in-between technology cycles here in Silicon Valley, and so until the next big paradigm is invented, much of the many will be made through diffusion of existing technology to new markets. Some of that may come through application to domestic industries that have historically been slow on the technology uptake (eg. Elemeno, Hivy), and much of it will be abroad (Hogaru, Bulk MRO).
