Launched by three students? What expertise and experience exactly do they bring to the table? Part of what makes YC so sight after is the guidance of PG & co.<p>Specifically to Switzerland, having lived there it has a problem more extreme than the US: it's very hard to work there. It's become easier for EU residents but harder for everyone else.<p>Switzerland is expensive but doesn't have the health insurance problems the US does (health insurance is mandatory and affordable) but labour laws are a bit of aroblem (in that it could be hard to fire someone).<p>The laws around company formation and financing I know nothing about there.<p>The cost of living is high but, in real terms, isn't that different to New York, even San Francisco.<p>If you compare Switzerland to its neighbors, Germany is much cheaper but far more restrictive on labour laws. France is expensive with similar problems. The UK is probably the freest in this sense but is expensive with huge infrastructure problems. Internet is probably cheapest in the UK (for Europe) and fastest to the US.
The application form is not working, that is if you manage to find the link in the first place.<p>Bootstrapping in Switzerland seems like an attractive proposition but does it make sense from a bootstrapper's point of view? Why not hop on a train and go to one of the cheaper countries next door?
