Re:YC/TS Results coming out soon. How about a backup plan? by semigeek on Thursday April 05, 2007 @02:58AM (#9104)
We're already bootstrapping a few different ideas/products - so we'll keep on that path. Our reason for applying to YC was not for the funding, but more for the mentors, networking and for the chance to be surrounded by more young like-minded individuals; there's not much of that in Cleveland.

I like the idea of getting some space in Boston/SF and bootstrapping it with others - I'd be open to renting out a house with some fellow entrepreneurs for the summer and seeing what we can cook up.

Same here. Bootstrapping and self-funded at the moment. We're hoping to be selected for YC for the same reasons you mentioned. Seriously, it would just be an amazingly fun and educational experience to associate with like-minded hackers at the top of their game.

How about a cheaper but still decent place to keep the costs down? I don't know about Boston but SF is hideously expensive.

Sure - where do you have in mind?
