I've been closely following YC and the startup scene in SF. What's your advice to a startup, applying to YC this season, and is from a foreign country? I've read most your writings and watched few interviews as well. It'd be great if you have something to add! And thanks for the AMA!

It doesn't hurt or help--we fund lots of founders from foreign countries (more than 40% of the last batch was born outside the US).

that's a somewhat misleading stat - you can be an American and still be born outside the US
