My startup is based in Paris, and it would be logistically tedious to move to SF (remote management, current customers ...)

YC and the Bay area would be an immense deal to us :

=> Regardless of the product I'm building : Are the advantages of moving to SF enough to balance the immediate difficulties of leaving ?

PS: We are building an AI (currently for students) that plugs into messaging apps. 150k messages exchanged already.

Hey, CEO of MotionLead here (YC W14), feel free to reach at arthur -at- motionlead.com, I'm currently in Paris.
It's so hard to answer this generally. It really depends on the situation of each particular startup. We have funded many startups from Paris specifically with teams there; I'd reach out to some of them and see how it worked.
Thank you Arthur, I will get in touch
