Y Combinator Fall Tour 2017

[katm]

If we're not coming to your city/school this fall and you'd like us to visit next year, you can tell us here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf87KZD8Ugj2Iy-ewFh....

I should, first, thank you for doing an Istanbul meetup in Europe, than say Paris.

The reason? Turkey is accessible for more nationals of less fortunate countries. It is still accessible to most Europe too.

But given Turkey issues with ISIS recently, it would have been better to consider other countries. For example, having a Turkish stamp can be an issue while accessing Germany.

Some alternatives: Casablanca, Tunis, and Belgrade.

They are cheap, have touristic resorts and also beer friendly :)

Edit: Looking at Asia now, it would be better to have the meetup in Hong Kong than in Singapore. Both are world-class cities and HK is accessible to more nationals.

I'm not involved in the operations of YC, but this is really terrific feedback! I hope they notice.

[gradyj]

Another surprised comment, but I'm surprised there is no Seattle or PNW locations..

[_hu6p]

Bewildered by no UK location.

[no1youknowz]

Same here. I would attend the event for sure.

[tzury]

Israel?? The second to the Bay Area in terms of Startups per capita.

Perhaps next time..

Gothenburg instead of Stockholm this year? How come?

[gargarplex]

I, for one, am glad to see Gothenburg getting more love. It would be nice to see some investment in Malmö as well, as it is lower cost and more easily accessible by airport (Copenhagen).

Kinda surprised DC isn't represented here.

Could be doable. Just a quick flight from Quebec to DC, then train from DC to NYC for the NYC meetings.

[ryanSrich]

I'd imagine Alexis Ohanian has DC pretty well covered. I saw him there a few years ago when he was doing a book tour.

Do you still require foreign start ups to incorporate in Delaware? Doesn't that undercut boosting the local economy argument

[seizethecheese]

The stable corporate laws of Delaware help startups boost their local economies effectively.

[mindcrime]

Aww, man, no love for Raleigh/Durham? :-(

[limeblack]

Atalanta isn't that bad of trip but agreed.

[anubisresources]

No Capetown or Nairobi? Nairobi in particular has a ton of software companies

[aloukissas]

Love that there are many events in LA! See you there :)

[lf275]

Surprised to not see Chicago here. I'm curious, how is Chicago ranked among other major American cities as a place to found a startup?

[ericzawo]

Come to Toronto!

[marksellers]

What!? No Antarctica!?

[alexcnwy]

Why no South Africa?! :)

[alexcnwy]

why the downvotes?
