Congratulations on the FT mention! Can you shed some light on the 'calculations' that go into the decision to live outside the valley? While living outside the bay area does reduce expenses, what kinds of things do you give up on (e.g. easy access to X, Y, Z) and why are they less valuable than the immediate monetary benefits?
- fallentimes 18y agoSure. It really wasn't as tough a decision for us as it could be for other startups. We aren't hiring and aren't actively raising money (though we keep in touch with many potential investors just in case). Also, our families are in the midwest. The only thing we "gave up" was that our startup friends almost all moved to San Francisco. But since we're working most of the time, it's not that big of deal. If and when we have a war chest of cash, we'll likely move to San Francisco; it's a kick ass place but is as expensive as NYC.
