No offense intended, but if you want to start a startup, the first thing you should do is get the hell out of Alabama. In Silicon Valley, you can raise 15K by just asking for it.
- theoutlander 20y agoLOL ... so I am based in Seattle ... does it make sense for me to move to the bay area ?
- BitGeek 20y agoSeattle is the third best startup hub, behind SF Bay and Boston and ahead of New York. Zero reason to move to the bay area if you're in seattle... and a lot of reasons not to.
- theoutlander 19y agoOh, this should really email me when someone replies to my post ... so I have been thinking about it a lot ... and it seems like SF Bay is the preferred location ... I guess I should get out of Redmond and into Seattle ....
- randallsquared 20y ago...but in SV, 15K will only last a month, whereas here we could stop spending so much and actually live for a year on that. Our home cost us 51K for 1550sq ft on a homesite with 12000 sq ft. Is this the best place to start a startup? No. However, having attempted to pull up and move to an expensive place where we knew no one (NH, in 2003), I'm not eager to go through that experience again just now, so we'll just keep plugging away until we succeed.
