I agree with 1. Especially in countries that don&#x27;t have anything like this available.<p>I can speak from Cuba, since I am originally from there. 
Cuba has been closed for 50 years to America, but that is changing now. There are really smart people, that just don&#x27;t have the necessary access to capital or good advice.<p>Creating a branch of YC there would have a tremendous impact for local economy and people in addition of being a great business venture in a market that has been closed for half a century and is finally open. 
It&#x27;s also worth mentioning that given the current economic situation, funding a startup in Cuba would only take a small fraction of what it takes to fund it in the US, with a lot of potential ROI since almost every industry can be disrupted significantly.
