Ask YC: Startup school? • Hacker News Board

Thanks, Trevor for getting through those applications. I can only imagine what that must have been like. Thanks, pg and the rest of the people who are making this possible. I know you must get a lot of virtual "thank yous"; I want to add my explicit thank you. What you are doing is a wonderful thing. Imagine, being able to change the lives of other people in one day. I plan to be one of them. Can't wait!

And, for those unlucky ones that, for reasons well beyond the scope of this comment, won't be able to attend, would it be possible to have the presentations and any other materials recorded and published TED-style?

Will everyone please relax? It's still the 27th here in California. Trevor's finishing reading the applications. We'll send out responses tonight.

I'm curious about the number of applicants vs number accepted. Has the number of applicants gone up dramatically each year?

Justin.tv will be streaming the whole event live (which means everything will also be archived).

I'm curious - has YC ever thought about doing startup school in other locations? I'd love to do startup school (just like I'd love to apply to YC), but a startup school here in Dallas would be more beneficial to me because it would attract others like me from my area. Maybe YC could incubate an incubator for DFW :-)
