I’m considering applying to YC, but I have a family with a young child and live in Europe. The standard expectation seems to be relocating to SF for three months (assuming you make it through).<p>I’d love to hear from others who’ve navigated this:<p>1. Are there any examples of founders who participated remotely or in a hybrid way?<p>2. Would skipping most of the in-person time be a major disadvantage? How much would I miss out on?<p>3. Are there alternative approaches I’m overlooking?<p>YC is known for valuing execution over logistics, but how flexible is this in practice? What assumptions am I getting wrong? I'm curious to hear from those who’ve faced similar challenges.
