The alternative is to convince YC that proximity isn't the most important thing. (It is an important thing, I understand, but it's not the most important thing.)
You can't convince us of that. Anyone who's been funded by YC knows that what we do, we have to do in person.
We once tried funding a group that didn't move. When they flew in for demo day, they looked like the plant that hadn't gotten the Miracle-Gro. The upside of that rather expensive experiment was that it showed us how much YC helps people.
do you think that a virtual YC environment could be designed to provide the same rich experience that you get in person? or is it simply impossible? just a point of curiosity on my part.

It'll take a very compelling story.
