do you want to enter YC Winter 2010 as part of my team?
frisco: You wouldn't come into the Valley for YC, and you're not technical?  Why would a good dev want to sign up for this?Regardless of the I-need-a-technical-lead issue, I think it would be missing a major point of YC to not colocate for the time it meets, given you're accepted.  Part of the push of YC is to get you to fully commit and take the leap: you're either going for it or you're not.  Startups are too close to death at any given time for there to be an in-between.
