Comment on Can I avoid to incorporate in US if I get accepted in YC?

Comments

it doesn't really make sense to incorporate in US if then I will run the company from abroad its entire lifetime.

What made you think that?

Is it possible to avoid incorporating in US if accepted in YC?

No, it's not possible. From http://www.ycombinator.com/apply/

"International founders, please note: if your company is a non-United States entity (corporation, limited liability company, etc.), your participation in YC is conditional on conversion of your foreign company into a United States corporation."

I have very low chances of getting a visa to live in usa, since I am a dropout without a college degree. Second, I am living in London, which I enjoy very much.

Thanks anyway to clarifying me that it's mandatory to be a US company. I understand why YC needs it.
