Is it possible to arrange hackathons outside of USA? That's be helpful to lot of people who don't live in USA or no easy way to get visa from USA.

I've been to three of these and would highly recommend attending. It's a great way to network with others and also get a taste of the YC mindset.

Will there be travel grants?

Hey. Craig here. I organize the hackathons at YC. We're not doing travel grants for this event.

Is this in SF or Mountain View?

Anyone looking for some help?

Yep. Need help with frontend skills. Mostly CSS. Idea is to build a code review site specifically focusing on blindspots in interviews. If interested, email in profile.

What is judging based on?

Is revenue a factor? Because if so, I’d argue not spending the two days building something.
