There are different cultures in different cities for sure. That said I, like a growing number of people I know, do everything "online" from a very rural place of France (both doing consulting for heavily technical startups or regular companies, and launching a SaaS product), and meet entrepreneurs and technical people once per year at conferences etc. Then again I don't have employees (we're 2 cofounders as a couple), so being remote is probably easier!
