If YC goes fully remote this batch, I will apply. Moving to California for several months is well outside my price range and would waste way too much of the YC investment. I also have a relatively pricey NYC apartment lease that I can't just break, so I would basically be on the hook for two astronomical rents for at least the duration.

- dustingetz 7y agoyou’re not supposed to make the money last, you’re supposed to raise a seed round in 3 months or die
- zupa-hu 7y ago> you’re not supposed While I understand the reason behind your comment and it even seems right, I can't stop thinking that we are born rebels.. If we are not supposed to do something, that might just represent an opportunity, doesn't it?
- juped 7y agoWe're told (correctly) by all YC's public communication that raising is a distraction and founders should focus on real work as much as possible. If what you say is the case, YC is either broken or lying, and they're not lying since it's 100% true that raising is a distraction.
- dustingetz 7y agoDemo Day is like week 12, so you're "supposed" to run your process in weeks 12-14
- anticsapp 7y agoNo, you can't. It says March 16th was the due date to apply. Why even get the country remote people excited? edit: nope, i'm a dumbass. you can still apply.
- juped 7y agoThey've always taken late applications.
