I liked the Cambridge YC HQ quite a bit. It's much homier than the one in MV.

Much smaller too, right? I wonder how they'll fit all the groups if next year they have even more.

usually when you're so popular you run out of space, it's not a problem to get more

I get your point, but it is a huge hassle to expand. Have you ever been part of a company in the process of a move? It takes eons.

Luckily for YC, it seems all they need to do to get setup is buy a place and get their architect to make it perdy.

I'm wondering too. We were pretty much at the limit last summer. When we had investors there for demo day, we literally had to put the founders outside in a tent.

Fortunately we can expand in time if constrained in space: just have multiple dinners per week. That would get us 7x without needing to find a new building. I've had my eye out for places in Cambridge, but it would be really hard to beat the current one.

If you need a good architect to build something remarkable for YC, let me know :)
