I think what might work the best is to find out which YC has serious interest (St.FYC), and sponsor several multi youth, who may not be affiliated with a YC/College, and sponsor them to join in.

Maybe the Hobie Class/other classes and multi orgs, could pony up. Money shouldn't be that difficult to come up with. The story will be epic!

Sponsoring a few of our youth rather than an entire team would be a good route.
