+1. We're a 15-person YC company operating in San Diego. Primary benefits: - Strong pipeline of new engineering talent from schools like UCSD. - Lots of talented senior engineers working in the chip fab, defense, and life science industries who are looking to make a lateral move to startups. - Great quality of life with 30-40% reduction in COL vs SF. This translates to reduced burn for companies and more disposable income for employees. - Fantastic weather, beaches, urban life, outdoors, great public schools, etc. - It's SoCal so public transportation is limited, but with lots of highways there's reasonably low traffic (I'm looking at you Austin and LA), and you can get most places in the county within 30 minutes. Contrary to popular opinion there's also a ton of VC investment in the area, and San Diego ranks ahead of Beijing, London, Austin, Seattle, Toronto, and Paris in terms of total dollars invested.
