If we get an interview but aren't accepted, will you still reimburse the traveling expenses for us poor people?

Yes, of course. We reimburse travel expenses for everyone who comes to interview with us, and I think it's shameful when other accelerators don't.

I probably would not have interviewed at YC if I had to pay for the trip--I was super poor at the time.

Thanks! That's why YC is the best. They understand Top Ramen founders.

Also, what if we cannot arrange for the trip initially...?

We never want there to be a situation where a founder doesn't come to an interview because of money (or any other) concerns. Contact us directly when we invite you to interview and we will do our best to help you.
