My entire Bitcoin career has been built on attending a running meetups. It’s how I know so many people. I just keep showing up. This is the advice that I always give to new people. Just get out there and talk to people. Just jump in and find some way to contribute to a project.

We're open to discussing flexible situations like this. I would apply and if you're selected for an interview we can discuss logistics at that time.
@_WolfNYC Hi guys, let’s say we are a team of 6 but only 4 can come to nyc for 8 weeks. Would that be a problem?.For example, say one of the cofounders runs a law firm and can’t be fully part of the accelerator program.
