Any idea why there are no efforts of starting a YC-like organization in other parts of the world? The only attempt I remember was yc-europe but I think they are gone. Isn't there any bunch of angels or VC's that are interested in doing this?

In some countries there are laws that don't facilitate the formation of seed funding companies. e.g. A funding company can't simply take 5% equity for so much money in a brand-new company. Something like that. One reason among many.
