There are several UK startups funded by YC, so we exist! Auctomatic, Sitepass, Songkick and a few in the new batch.
Visas are difficult but otherwise I'd recommend moving to the Valley, or at least visiting.
How about getting together at this?

Myself and Harjeet will be there.
- dood 19y agoI read about that event somewhere, but isn't it for Oxford students only?
- langer 19y agoHi, dood. We're a small team based in Oxford, UK. Would be cool if you can make it to the event kul mentioned - parts of the event (including drinks with everyone afterwards ;-) ) are open to anyone. E-mail jonathan[dot]black[at]sbs[dot]ox[dot]ac[dot]uk for more info. Otherwise we can meet up in London some time. In fact, are you at Minibar this week? I recently started blogging about UK start-ups at http://davidlanger.co.uk http://davidlanger.co.uk so am also keen to hear about more hackers, entrepreneurs etc. working on stuff this side of the pond.
- dood 19y agoHi David, probably won't make Oxford, and I didn't know about Minibar, but if possible it sounds like fun. If not, guess it'll have to be the upcoming YC london meetup, if you can make it.
- tpatke 19y agoTo be honest. That event just doesn't interest me at all. The speakers are not going to say anything that is not already on the web. ...and if they do, it will be on the web the day after. I want to meet hackers. The best way to do that is probably over coffee. Not in the context of someone delivering a speech.
