It's a 3 month cycle and most of the team has to move to get funding from ycom. At which point, you better be willing to give it a full-time effort if you're taking someone else's money and you expect success.

We tried this once, and by Demo Day that startup was way behind the rest. What we do, we have to do in person. We would not be doing a startup a favor by not making them move. You can leave one founder at home, but the rest, including the CEO, have to live in the Bay Area during the 3 month funding cycle.
