I'm from Mongolia, which is pretty small country, so the embassy won't be giving visas so easily and I would need some paperwork. How does YC deal with this kind of issue???
The only thing that worries me is getting a visa. I'm not sure my visa would come out in time. As for big names, investors, I guess, you won't meet so many, but you will definitely meet some smart people.
How do people from other countries attend the event? Do they send invitations, so I can get visa and be there? I'm crazy enough to travel 6506 miles to feel that experience.
Too shame that they're using so much of money, which is basically tax money of Mongolian people, on surveillance tool when Mongolians living their like hell. shame on them.
in my opinion, if you don't offer something different, why would someone choose you over more sophisticated ones. Investors are people who want their investments to bring them success and money. So success simply won't come, if one isn't different or better than others. It means the best case is you are going to be only as good as them, not better.
