I'm in a similar position to what he described, although have a huge problem in that we're down in South Africa.
We made it through to the interview round, and then declined when pg made the call that we'd have to interview in person (up until then we were certain video conference would be alright).
I am starting to debate my choice, but since we don't really need the program, a $3000 trip to the US for something we might not get into seems a little silly; but at the same time - that cost is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
- dariusmonsef 16y agoFor next time... You could have also used the time to: A. Network your face off while in SF. Set up meetings with everybody you can. Investors if you're trying to raise. Other startups, hackers, etc. B. Take a short vacation. I'm sure you deserve it.
- qixxiq 16y agoAt the moment we have too much going on here to consider any of that, especially if we planned on moving to the US for three months come January. I could fly up mid-December if YC would be willing to let me pitch then (and then stay on if we make it), but I'm presuming thats not the best time to network -- if there is a good time.
