Anyone interested in the email space? I’m thinking of trying something around interactive email maybe using AMP for email. HMU

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.

Or outside of the Bay area within the US?

Edit: in addition to the parent comment, not instead of.

Would love to see one in Seattle.

Sounds amazing. It pains me that I won't be able to go to this. (If it were feasible to join from an intercontinental flight, I would). Are you planning others in the future?

Is this for building a startup investors will want to invest in or to make something interesting? I.e., is it basically a YC application in another form? There are many interesting things that are worth hacking on but not appropriate for venture capital-funded startups.

Will there be travel grants?

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

Any chance of a mirror event in NYC? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested but travelling to SF for one night would most likely be very inconvenient.

I'd be more than happy to help organize/host it.

There are as many hackathons as one could possibly attend out there. They're just not YC related.
