As an Italian citizen, you'll be able to enter the US under the WVP. You won't be authorized to work though. Taking part in YC under the WVP is possible.

  On a side note, is it possible to do YC as an OPT. Edit: I couldn't reply so Ill explain here. OPT is Optional Practical Training, it is what F1 visa holders(full time students) can do. We are able to stay for 29 months after graduation, to work in the field we studied for in order to get practical training.

    Yes, unless this guidance has changed: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/opt_policy_guidance_pdf.pdf http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/opt_policy_guidance_pdf.... EDIT: Section 7.2.1 specifically.

  Taking part in YC under the WVP is possible. Careful there. It's almost certainly not. Unless you're just a "brain" doing meetings only, you'd almost certainly be doing something that could be considered "work" and it doesn't matter if you're not being paid.
