Only 5 of the listed companies are actually in LA. All the rest are in SF/Bay Area. No thank you,

You're right. I should have checked more carefully before noting that. The LA startups currently lined up and based in Los Angeles are: FightCamp, FLOWER, Relativity Space, Sorting Robotics and UpKeep.

I'm working to have a few others LA YC startups join us as well. The rest have founders & teams coming in from SF (and one from Chicago), and are eager to chat about remote or SF roles.

If these LA startups and/or the opportunity to relocate to SF isn't possible, you're right -- it's not a good fit.

As a quick note: we're continuing to onboard more companies in Southern California. Recently confirmed are GOAT, Embrace and Intersect Labs (San Diego).

I apologize again for not checking my work earlier. Being from Anaheim, I've always hoped that a LA/OC startup community would emerge, and I'm hopeful that this event can showcase some great YC startups that have chosen to plant their roots down there.

Will provide more updates as they come, and hope to see many of you there.
