Keep in mind that there are several people here on HN that moved from the USA to Singapore to build their software companies. It's cheap to live there, things generally work, internet is good and connected to the rest of the world. There's nothing about your location that stops you building a business. There's also nothing about your location that stops you working remotely for a company in any other country. I for example work remotely from overseas, and I live farther from my company's headquarters than you would if you picked up a gig for a company in the Bay Area. Things are not quite as bad as they seem.
