I don't know for sure. I imagine there were a number of things not working in our favor. I don't want to suggest anything unfounded, but what I can say for sure is that I wasn't willing to move to Boston/SF (I am happily married with two wonderful children and settled in West Palm Beach, FL).
Also, we did apply late, and rumor has it that late applications aren't treated as thoroughly.
- davidw 18y ago"Not willing to relocate for 3 months" seems to be pretty critical, even more so than single founders.
- SwellJoe 18y agoI would also add that if you aren't re-locating, then you're missing at least 50% of the value of YC (probably more). They'd be doing someone a favor to pass on their company over this question...because the company wouldn't be getting a very good deal. Good investors don't invest when they know they can't provide good value to the company, and YC is a good investor.
- scott_s 18y agoNot relocating makes sense, in your case. Not many people in silicon valley care about hurricanes.
- wensing 18y agoMakes me wonder what it would be like for an earthquake startup if NYC were the Valley.
