For those with young children going to SF for several months made YC near impossible, I hope they keep a remote option in the future.

Me too. My co-founder and I both have young children and we were in the last YC batch. We live on the east coast and wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't remote.

If anyone is applying and is looking for someone to review their application or has questions about the remote batch, feel free to email me (email is in my profile). I was helped by many people over the past few months and would love to pay it forward.

Edit: And for anyone wondering about it being remote vs. in person - YC was an overwhelmingly positive experience for me and I would encourage you to apply.

Hi Todd, I'm Loc from Gigantec Media. Congrats on your great YC journey! I will shoot you an email and hope I can learn a thing or two from your experience.

Great idea btw!

Not just people with children, people who don't want/cannot commute there in general. This is a more inclusive option.
