"We slept on the carpeted floor"
Is this how most ycombinator funded companies general work? You have to move California even if you are sleeping on the street? Wouldn't staying in home country make more sense until profitibility is discovered?
- soorajchandran 6y agoAt least before covid, companies had to move to Bay Area. But I don't think everyone sleeps on the floor. YC funds you enough (120k then, 150k now) to afford decent housing. We were just a bit too concerned about the runway since we didn't make enough revenue. I want to make it clear that YC definitely recommends a healthy life style and this was strictly our choice.
