So simply, in fact, that had I met the criteria, I'd ask Paul to sponsor me in setting up YC Israel.
YC can be scaled by both growing and duplication (creating copies that operate in different locations):
What do you need to run a YC "chapter"? Some of you might reply "Paul Graham". Well, I appreciate that, but it's wrong. The only resource needed to run a YC chapter that isn't abundant is people with the enthusiasm and experience needed to guide young entrepreneurs.
But what does YC produce? Exactly that.
Paul, you remarked lately that the reason you run YC is probably that you don't need money and do want to work with people you like. Well, take any hacker that has successfully sold a start up and he'd probably want the same.
So young hacker =} YC =} experienced entrepreneur {= YC
When I'll exit my business (or stabilize it and stay within), I'll call Paul and ask to found YC Israel. For now, I have other work to do :)
YC can be scaled to any size very simply.
