Great article! I'm starting this summer and if we don't get the Ycombinator gig we've got a tough decision to make about where to start. I'm currently of the opinion that we should live in my parents basement for the 3 months and not come out until we've got a beta to launch. This way I can also take the last class I need to complete my masters and no money will be spent. My partner is more of the opinion that we should move directly to SV. Anyone with any experience or advice on this as we debate it out? Also, I'll have to search this outsidethevalley.com more thoroughly but what does one do to get these one on one meetings with VCs?
