We have B1/B2 visa. They allow you to stay in the US for 6 months and only take a few days to obtain. YC gave us a formal letter which made everything very simple.
Well that's useful for all of us who are considering submitting an application. Thank you for sharing your experience. Number #6 is universal and so true, the sooner you accept it, the better.
> One group session every other week, with six other companies to share what we’ve accomplished and what we’re struggling with amongst people that are living exactly the same thing.
It's interesting to hear about the group sessions. In the incubator my company is participating in, our weekly group sessions are EXTREMELY structured - we're presenting our progress to a similar number of other companies, but we're required by the incubator organizers to put together very specific (and extensive) slide decks answering very specific questions (which, IMHO, don't make sense for every company to spend time preparing every week given that all our companies are in different stages). Are the YC group sessions similarly structured, or are they more like lightly-or-not-at-all-moderated roundtable discussions/support groups among friends?
