IMO the best way for YC to do something to start with in Germany would be to get involved in CCC/31c3. (CCC is a weird combination of IEEE/ACM and hackerspaces, and huge in Germany)
A "how to turn your project into a company? should you, and why?" talk by YC (ideally, with European YC company founders, ideally in the product spaces most interesting to CCC hackers) would be awesome. The downside is it's 27-30 DEC in Hamburg.
- amirmc 13y agoIn principle there isn't any reason a YC partner couldn't just give a talk if they wanted to. For example Harj did a session at HackerNews London just over two years ago [1]. I don't recall it being an official 'YC Event', just one of the partners who happened to be in the UK at the time and was willing to do it. However, looking at the current list of YC partners [2], I don't see many that might have ties to Europe, such that they'd be visiting much (never mind the imposition of giving up family/holiday time to give a 'work' talk).
