About 450 people. I would guess more than half are in the Bay Area.

Thanks for the reply pg! We are based in Australia and are putting together an application for the next round of YC. Hopefully we'll join the YC community and broaden its global presence!

We like Australians. They seem to make good founders. You may want to talk ask the founders of Omnisio, Adioso, and Whereoscope for advice.

Yes we know Tom and Fenn from Adioso, and we are going to the next local HN meetup before the submission deadline - I think the biggest thing that anybody would get out of YC is becoming part of a community of very passionate people, which makes a hell lot of difference!

Yeah, having Australian YC founders is awesome for championing our local startup communities too. There was a decent turnout at the the YC Melbourne meetup in February.

Do you reckon I'm the only one in Alaska? (For another month, anyway...)

There are several who are from Alaska, who are probably there occasionally. I don't know of any others currently working out of Alaska.
