What Happens At Y Combinator

I've heard about a startup that had to relocate to London after the YC 3 month phase and then wait a substantial time for the INS to work out their papers. That sounds like it could break a company?

Yes, I was wondering about the YC process as being involved in a London start-up, the dream is obviously to take it to YC and the Valley.

Has anyone here on HN got into YC from London?

Snaptalent, Heyzap, Raportive, Songkick + a couple of others were from london. I think guys from most of those companies are on HN.

I suspect that's the norm rather than the exception. And as such, it can be planned for. It'll certainly slow your expansion (hiring people is hard when you don't know where you'll be located N months from now) but it shouldn't break the company.
