Switzerland is good if you are an employee, bootstrapping there is financial suicide.

  If you need to hire software engineers onsite, I would not go for Switzerland, that is true. But it goes both ways. Switzerland is one of the few countries where employees do not need to work five days a week to pay the bills. Some tend to work Monday-Wednesday, because 60-80% of a middle-class salary is enough to live on. On Thursday and Friday one can chill or bootstrap something.

    I keep hearing this myth, yet I know plenty who work effectively six-plus days work-weeks and zero doing part-time (at least in engineering)...

      Talk to the guys from "Ergon Informatik" for instance - a Java shop from Zurich. Many of their engineers choose to do home-office on Thursday and not work on Friday.
