Quick question for PG. Would you be interested in running a similar event in London? We've been organising an HN meetup for over a year and currently have a community of over 1100 people that would love to attend an event like this. There are also several YC companies including Songkick that have been involved in the meetup that I am certain would be interested in helping out.

Possibly. If we had an event in Europe, it would probably be in London.

Curious on how many spots are going to be available and are any spots reserved for students?

We planned for 500 but we may have to increase that. None are reserved for any specific group, but we like students.

I can't understand why YC isn't involved more with London

I think this would be great. What would you need to turn a 'possibly' into a 'yes'?

Huh. Surprised how tiny the Wikipedia article about Y Combinator is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator I wanted to read about and see the date of a talk pg gave at Harvard before Y Combinator's first batch (not Startup School 2005; I went to that so I know a little about it). Anyone have details? Curious.

The edit history is interesting to review. They actively remove useful information from the article, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Y_Combinator&d... I'd love to see someone create a non-broken wikipedia that keeps the citation rules but eliminates of the rest of the deletionist culture.

Yeah, me too. A Wikipedia for articles about things that happened after the Web was invented. Imagine that!

I think we really could need some of the YC spirit over here. Even as a german, I would agree London to be the best choice.

I would be really glad, because in europe (esp. in germany) at startup events we usually see some successful copycat entrepreneur as a speaker..

It seems like nearly no one in europe is taking risk in business to develop real innovation.
