YC says visa challenges hampering participation of international founders
- toomuchtodo 3y ago> In a statement to TechCrunch, a YC spokesperson attributed the drop to shift back to in-person events by the storied venture accelerator firm that necessitates founders to relocate to the U.S. for a quarter of a year. YC could go back to a more remote model. To not do so is a choice.
