MS&E 476: Entrepreneurship through the Lens of Venture Capital
We often discuss how technology is reinvented and disrupted, but there is also a good amount of change occurring within the venture capital industry. Within the past several decades there have been new entrants, from incubators to angels to different models of venture capital.
The course explores changes in the venture capital industry: from the rise of Sand Hill Road and investing in the dot-com bubble, to incubators and accelerators, equity crowd funding platform, and different models of venture capital today.

I have a question. Since the earlies possible batch one can currently apply for is more than a year in the future, what happens when e.g. a german company after the application starts with a local incombator, but because they are still interested in the special benefits Y Combinator offers and access to the us market wouldn't take back their application. Would that be ok with Y Combinator?
