On 26th September 2011 the Y Combinator team left Mountain View and travelled to
New York for a meetup that gave start-ups there the chance to ask questions and
talk about ideas with YC partners and the founders of companies they have
funded.

The Y Combinator team clearly saw some value in scouting for talent outside The
Valley. Should the YC team come to London to find awesome start-ups? I
(@mstafford) thought so and so did a lot of start-ups in London!

After seeing YCNYC I wanted to do something and try to make this happen.

In no way was it an 'official' YC event but after a couple of weeks of tweets
and emails Harj Taggar, YC Partner, agreed to come to the HN London event on
Thursday 29th September.

A capacity 500 people signed up for the event in less than a week. #HNLondon
hashtag and below is a selection of the best:

excited for ldn! thanks everyone who came, hope it was useful!" @Harjeet
