The company i co-founded VIA Global Health  received VC funding and was invited to participate in batch 20 of 500 Startups out in San Francisco. We had about ten days to find a place and move out to the bay area for 4-5 months.  Thankfully, with the help of friends in the area, we were able to secure an apartment in Pacific Heights and switch around the plane tickets we had for a trip to Los Angeles for my cousin’s wedding.
