Out of curiosity, what is the startup? Not trying to pry, but I'm curious what industry you're in and whether you're profitable or funded, since it is a bit strange to have the money to run four offices so far apart, insist on in-person travel and yet still have these problems.
- pinaceae 14y agowon't name it, but all international expansion is self funded (and it is more than 4 offices). we focus on a single industry, delivering enterprise products in a SaaS model. we're not public yet, so sorry for my dancing around. think Workday, but profitable, growing 100% YoY ;) and frugality is a mindset, not a problem. overall it is a very good way to keep the business successful, our founders are all industry veterans and have seen all the mistakes of the various bubbles before. our kitchens in the bay area offices have coffee, soft drinks, some granola bars and bananas - nothing crazy like chefs or a starbucks. that business class thing is my only point of disagreement.
