In my humble and uninformed opinion, YC is unlikely to take 100K in cash from an angel investor unless they also brought in something with a LOT of real strategic value that they need. I don't know the OP so I can't speculate as to whether he would.

The coffee shop idea is also not an easy one to pull off and next to impossible if you are not doing it full time. See "I opened a charming neighborhood coffee shop. Then it destroyed my life." http://www.slate.com/id/2132576/

I agree; I don't think YC would be impressed with my 'strategic value'.

I don't want a coffee shop either - I couldn't think of anything worse.

There's only one way to find out. After all, you're not asking them for money; it would be more like an internship. Best of luck whichever way you jump, it's nice that you want to reinvest in your community.
