Yes, but we're coming in on the very high end of the comp scale. We're also considering doing things like YC guaranteeing 100% mortgages for the researchers--housing prices in the bay area are a joke.
We're starting relatively small (on the order of 10) and grow from there at a reasonable rate.
While I'm somewhat skeptical of the idea (I'll admit I'm an academic researcher) this seems like a very good step - the Bay Area is becoming cost prohibitive.
