Ask HN: Any applications from Turkey?

2 pointsdemirhan3 comments

I am not sure whether this question might be prohibited or not (checked rules). But I wonder If there were any applicants from Turkey that applied to YC? Or from non-EU countries?

Just wanted to read about their experiences.

There is a startup in the current batch from Turkey in fact.

As far as I know there is not any. I have asked people also. (I read tech blogs from Turkey and they never mentioned one). Maybe that people are Turkish people who live in US already? (I consider you didn't want to mention their name.

Many YC participants do not announce their status as such right away. When people I know have gotten into YC, they've uniformly asked me not to say so until they announce.
