As YC alumni and founder with experience working remotely — and given it appears likely, per YC, that the YC S20 summer batch will be 100% remote — would it be possible provide any suggestions for working remotely with YC as part of a YC batch?

- Finbarr 7y agoYes I’d say: - make use of the office hours that YC provides. You can schedule these once you’ve been accepted. They’ve already been doing office hours by video. - ask YC alumni for introductions to investors. The community has really pulled together to support the W20 batch that just graduated. They’re the first to do demo day remotely. I know some of the companies had no trouble raising substantial rounds fully remotely. - one aspect of YC that works really well is meeting other founders serendipitously. I anticipate that YC will probably figure something out to enable this, but don’t be afraid to reach out to relevant alums asking to connect.
- Endlessly 7y agoThanks for sharing — all good advice regardless of if YC ends up doing the next batch 100% remote or not.
