There is always a way... I have a wife, 4 dogs and a 60 employee company to take care of, in another continent, and would definitely take the opportunity without blinking...<p>The fact is: if you want to be on the world&#x27;s best startup acelerator, you need to live 3 months in SV. Mostly because they can reproduce the experience anywhere else. But they a flexible in all possible ways... (your company can be based anywhere)<p>More severe commitments are required if you want to excel in other areas as well: if you want to play on the best soccer teams in the world you need to move to Europe; If you want to be a top actor you need to go to LA; If you want to be an MIT Engineer you need to live 5 years there; If you want to be the world&#x27;s best tango dancer you need to move to Argentina...<p>But I&#x27;m sure that, wherever you are, there must be decent enough startup accelerators nearby. (There are a bunch in my country even).
