I can see in person being "Better" for the novelty factor of people moving out to SF. But if they're doing 4 autonomous groups anyways, having groups spread out in different places would be an interesting experiment.
I do wonder what percent of YC companies force moves to SF. If a bunch of those people are moving anyways, running a batch in some other city (hell, Seattle or NY is surely filled with decent stuff) would be interesting. And on the YC-side, moving out somewhere for 3 months might give them their own novelty bonus as well.
