The summarized criteria are: - by the sea and sunny (presumably 60%+ sunshine per year) - Europe-compatible TZ (no west coast) - 20 minutes to airport - bet

The summarized criteria are: - by the sea and sunny (presumably 60%+ sunshine per year) - Europe-compatible TZ (no west coast) - 20 minutes to airport - better taxes - dog-friendly - diverse populace If that's it, and Florida seems to be a fixation, then I'd probably go Tampa instead of Miami. Similar tax situation but significantly lower cost of living, especially food and housing, and Tampa has had less foreign-investment bullshit in its housing market. There're also fewer dog breed restrictions in Tampa, and a smaller, faster, easier airport that still has non-stop flights to London and Frankfurt. A lot also depends on which diversity metrics matter; Miami city is <15% non-Hispanic white and >50% foreign-born, but also mostly Hispanic, while Tampa is ~45% non-Hispanic white and <20% foreign-born, but has larger proportions of Black and Asian populations than Miami. I don't really get the rationale in general to be in the US, though. "If we were a 100% self-serve company, I don’t think it’d be necessary to open a US office anytime soon. When we hire US sales folks, I need to move there, otherwise, we won’t attract the best talent"? Why would US GTM people care if the founder/CEO is US-based? The US is massive; you aren't going to be close to most of your field sales no matter where you live. If you want to be in the sun near the sea with few taxes, access to an airport, live in a good TZ for doing business in Europe and recruiting GTM in the US, avoid taxes, enjoy dogs and local diversity, and you also don't care about hurricanes enough to want to live in Miami, then Nassau is right there.
