Here, I spotted your problem for you: "move to the Bay Area"

Hey, founder here. No worries then, there are plenty of YC startups outside the Bay Area :)

I meant the fact that one should move at all. You guys are locking yourself out of a huge market of potentially great developers because you don't consider remote work.

We're open to remote workers. There's a little less demand (not all YC companies are hiring remote workers), but we have no problem with it.
