VentureBeat: YCombinator plants permanent roots in Bay Area

  • Ivan Kirigin · 10 months ago
    My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. The meetup is for startups, but not exclusively for YC alumni. It wasn't started in response to the news, though the goal is to allow startups to get together to talk shop in a friendly environment. http://bit.ly/startup_poker

    Tipjoy was in the Winter 08 class in Mountain View. We moved from Boston to the Bay Area to do it, and moved back to Boston after Betaworks, based in NYC, was the lead in our series A.

    It has been interesting comparing the coasts. Boston has a much, much smaller startup scene. I'm interested to see how it will evolve without a yearly YC class in Cambridge.

    The bi weekly poker has turned in to a great way for my Cofounder to acquire beer money.
