for me, it would be number 2. I cant afford to lose the salary. Here in the Philippines, there are no YCombinators or Launchboxes (or i don't know one :P)... if there was funding, i would drop everything in a heartbeat and concentrate to work on my big "idea"... for now, this big-"idea" stays on the extra hours at home and on weekends...
sometimes i wish that people in the US would fund startups here in the philippines. 1USD == 40Pesos. the funding would go a long way here. and in case the startup succeeds, labor is dirt cheap here - people speak english and they have skills.
- tonyvt2005 19y agoThat's an interesting one. Difficulty in finding funding overseas. I wonder if the YCs of the world will branch out internationally someday. I don't see why not.
- wenbert 19y agoOverseas funding would be great but YCs and similar companies would have to be careful though. I am not sure in other places, but here in Cebu(Philippines), everything is booming... Infrastructure is improving due to large international companies (EG: Lexmark, NEC, etc.) setting up in this small island. And like i said, everyone speaks english...
