I think they will cover whatever you want initially (eg, moving expenses, renting a place), but my interpretation is that that comes out of the 5+5n.
- jkush 20y agoRight - that's what I had assumed. From what was said in the thread above, it sounded like moving costs were above and beyond, which I didn't think they were.
- far33d 20y ago"Moving costs" for anyone inside the US is sure to be less than $1000.
- RyanGWU82 20y agoHow can you say that with such certainty? I moved from Washington, DC to the Bay Area last fall, and my costs were significantly higher than $1000. Even if I cut all the corners, a hypothetical move to Boston would still cost me thousands of dollars. If I was doing YC for a summer, I wouldn't need to move. I could just fly there with a couple of suitcases and a laptop, but I'd need some way to cover my existing apartment rent. That's a pretty significant expense over 3 months. And I suspect YC is not looking for companies who see the experience just "doing YC for a summer."
- rwalker 20y agoYou're trying to do it in one step: 1. Move It's easier to do it in three steps: 1. "Do YC for a summer" 2. Secure more funding 3. Move
- far33d 20y agoMy point was all you need to do YC is a plane ticket and your bags, maybe buy a bed and a desk when you get there.
- RyanGWU82 20y agoFair enough. I probably took your comment a bit too literally. $1000 is not enough to move cross-country, but it probably is enough to relocate for three months. :)
