Hi! I am 32 years old, have a young family, and a steady software engineering job at a large software company. I have always loved the idea of a traditional YC experience but have never applied because I feel like I am not at a stage in my life where I'd be a good fit. Is it fair to say that this Fellowship experiment is an attempt to examine the "may have a good idea but is not very mobile" demographic?
- mattkrisiloff 11y agoYes! That's part of the reason we want to work with remote teams -- to get to work with people who can't make the move to the Bay Area. That said, if you wanted to apply to the normal YC W16 batch after YCF, you'd still be asked to make the move.
- dzlobin 11y agoDo YCF teams need to apply via the usual application at that point?
- kevin 11y agoYes. http://fellowship.ycombinator.com/faq/#probability http://fellowship.ycombinator.com/faq/#probability
- robotnoises 11y agoGreat, that is very encouraging. Thank you.
