The logic when we were in YC was that office space does not foster the same kind of scrappy culture that working out of your garage or apartment does.
Working out of an office takes away some of the urgency and gives you a more laissez-faire approach to building the company as well as clear work/life separation, which isn't really a good thing very early on in a company's life.
- ryannielsen 15y agoHaving all companies in one location also, to an extent, inhibits each company from growing or fostering its own personal culture. At the very least, their culture changes as a result of being in that environment. My takeaway is that YC would rather each individual company decide with whom and where to work – it's all in the spirit of encouraging entrepreneurs and not forcing them down a predefined path.
