Those are good ideas.  (I&#x27;m a YC alum; I&#x27;m looking forward to applying and doing another YC startup at some point in the future, and I personally dislike SFBA.)<p>YC has done a little bit of this informally (Alexis as &quot;Ambassador to the East&quot;), and a lot of YC founders are from other places and retain hiring&#x2F;offices&#x2F;etc. in those other places.  There are lists, support networks, etc. I know of for YC companies resettled in Seattle, and probably in other places.<p>There are also some YC companies which are explicitly &quot;X for India&quot;, &quot;Y for Brazil&quot; where they obviously are based in those other places.<p>There ARE a lot of YC companies which want to remain in SFBA, though, so looking at options like Campus (RIP; wonder what happened; would love to talk to the founder for a post-mortem) makes sense, too.
