		cperciva on July 2, 2007 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Applications Open for Winter 2008 YC Funding You'll bend any rule? Does that apply to the "must move to the Bay area" rule? (Yes, I am a genius.) If it weren't for that rule, I'd seriously consider applying -- but if I wanted to move to Silicon Valley, I'd work for Google.

We once funded a company that didn't move. It didn't work very well. A startup would have to be really good to convince us. And if we did agree it would hurt them, relative to what they might have done if they'd moved.

Consider applying for YC's Winter 2026 batch! Applications are open till Nov 10
