Ask HN: Is Silicon Valley really the best place for a startup?
The Valley is one of the most expensive places in the country, California has high taxes. You can get broadband anywhere and there are nice places that are much cheaper.
Is the environment of the bay area really worth it?
- csomar 18y agoThere are both advantages and drawbacks. As you said, in term of cost it's very expensive. In my opinion, I don't think it's a good place to START. It's good only for successful startup that want to grow bigger. I read an article few months ago on NY times, that the best country to make startup is Signapore, it has lower taxes and governement encourages small companies.
- mg1313 18y agoThat's why the salaries are higher there and startup costs could higher.
- david927 18y agoWhere you are right now is the best place to start.
