YC has funded lots of companies that aren't in SV, or even in the US.

Oh, you mean why do companies normally have to move to SV during the batch? Partly that you really need the high-bandwidth conversations you can have in person, and partly that it helps the startups to be around other startups.

What makes a conversation a high-bandwidth conversation? Is there something that makes them unique? Either in the result or how they are started?
