Maybe working with employees from different countries can cause a great stress for some teams. Employees can be upset that you hire oversea. They expect that coworkers there are underpaid, and that you hired these people for that reason. So the image of the company gets a hit even among your workers. And if you go oversea for workforce, they could think that their job will be outsourced as well in the future. And you won't get the same engagement. Differences in culture do exist as well. I have heard wild stories about outsourcing in India. Jet lag is also a thing. kidgorgeous's benefits. govt subsidies can be also right. I think the YC themselves funds nothing but local startups (do they ? I haven't tried to fund a startup yet) Anyway, it's difficult to promote a company that doesn't have any local impact. However, all the tax and labor laws things are overstated. Countries like France, Romania, India, or Morocco have efficient consulting firms. Large and small companies from any industry work with them everyday on every kind of subject (IT, engineering, ...)
