TBH - It makes no economic sense for startups to get $$$$ address in downtown SF than to massage the ego of the founders. This obsession to locate in downtown SF is costing both the company and employees tremendously.
If they really want to be located in the city have an ego office in downtown and open satellite offices in the east bay or south bay. Makes for happy employees and cheaper costs.
- junkscience2017 9y agowhy stop there? the last "who's hiring" post made it clear to me that more and more startups are locating outside of the Bay Area entirely
- closeparen 9y agoOne of the factors that permits Bay Area employees to take risks on startups is the density of alternatives. Few people are willing to move across the country as frequently as a normal startup employee changes jobs.
