I've had an idea for a startup for over a decade and have wanted to go to YC. But hell if I'm gonna go to San Francisco from Detroit area. You guys are freaking insane dealing with that cost of living. BTW, said idea is more than ripe now and the right team could get it running it in a month.
BTW, my concept seems like it needs to be a nonprofit. It could make money but if that ever corrupts it people would be very unhappy.
