Why locate in high bureaucracy and regulation regions?
The only advantage I see is being able to go to meet ups of peers, etc.
Would you rather work for your startup and have to live invdowntown LA or SF? Or would you rather live in the phillapenes or Thailand on a beach?

- andrewljohnson 16y agoMy numbers are great, thanks :) I credit all the great hiking, skiing, and fresh air with helping to incubate our three person start-up. It's worth mentioning that we make GPS software for the outdoors, so our location is very conducive to testing.

- fexl 16y agoDo you have a personal limit on what you would tolerate? What tax rate might prompt you to avoid the taxes, for example by moving?
