I'm currently doing a startup in Singapore and a lot of those points definitely ring true with my experiences so far (though I've only been here for about two months). I would argue two points though: - If you're really adventurous and willing to take the plunge, I say you can do your research, then hop on a plane within two months at the earliest. Of course it'll be tough, but it'll be tough no matter if you did it later rather than sooner. - While you can build a company for less overseas, one big thing you'll miss if you decide to really take your business overseas is the nice, large, homogenous U.S. market. Of course depending on the type of startup, your target market may not be geographically locked. In Singapore, you'll hear the phrase "but Singapore's market is so small!" muttered repeatedly. You could still have a startup that primarily targets the U.S. market, but you can definitely feel a disconnect that may or may not eventually impact how your product is marketed. In the end though, I think what's really great about it is the efficiency of the experience. Immersing yourself in a new culture while building a startup will probably be one of the most life experience packed times of your life where you can grow in so many different ways in such a short amount of time. Depending on your philosophy on life, there may be nothing more appealing than this.
