It would be useful if the post explained what YC Office Hours are. Is this a way to get into YC? A chance to have feedback on my startup? Or just an opportunity to meet a YC person?

I wonder why Nairobi, Kenya isn't in the list. Africa is a humongous continent to only have Nigeria in the list.

Wooot excited to have YC visit us at Wheelys Café in Sweden. If anyone’s travelling to Stockhholm for this feel free to email me (cenk@wheelyscafe.com) for burger recommendations, directions to our office or if you’d like to come by for a cup of coffee.

How were these countries chosen? This could just be a faux vacation for the YC people, but I feel there are some countries in Asia for which this would well received and be a huge success. (For example, Singapore)

Remember when Sam tweeted this at DMC a while back? It sounds like he has revised his position.
@davemcclure way to help startups is not to be super busy with travel etc, but to sit around your office and be available to advise them :)

I wonder why they are skipping Brazil (and going for Argentina)

Work culture around the world varies wildly. Always interesting to see Founders break through to success despite the differences in culture.

Would it be possible to add Egypt to the list? :)

Please add Sydney Australia

I would like to attend YC office hours for help with expanding the customer base for a specialized software development company. The application form asks "What stage is your company at currently? (Sketch, Prototype, Beta, Launched, Other)". Does this mean that services companies are not elligible?

So much global demand. So difficult to scale. Might be time to consider a kind of YCx extension program, where independent local organizers, who are most keenly aware of their native flavor, can get the tools to self-organize their own startup community's office hours, seed funds, incubators, etc.

Just to be clear (in Delhi), there are two different registrations. One for office hours and other for the general conference and fireside chat. I registered for office hours but conference is a waiting list.

Hey YC, your core program has invested in 5 companies with at least 1 colombian founder, you have witnessed the talent here. Would you consider adding our country to the list?

They should do this in flyover country too.

Is there any specific reason why YC left out China? China has a hug community and great success in startups.
by hdharshi on 8/11/16, 10:18 PM
Why isn't Kenya on the list? Considering the conference there last year.

Canada?

How come you're not swinging via London on your EU tour?
by shin_lao on 8/11/16, 8:35 PM
Interesting choice of countries. What was the rationale?
by srid68 on 8/11/16, 4:08 PM
Please add Singapore

I see Sweeden and Denmark, but not Norway

Visiting to Asia on next round?
