Those are the reasons why I'm moving to malaysia to create my startup....
1. Living cost are cheap
2. good internet access
3. lots of people speak english there so you can go on your daily life with english (good for attracting employees from other countries)
4. While I don't discount the usefulness of the networking effect in the bay, it's much more useful if you need investors... Since I plan to bootstrap my company, this is not such a problem....
5. Nice weather, smiling people makes for a place where people are not depressed....
6. I strongly believe that the best employees for a startup are curious and adventurous, an employee that is willing to relocate to malaysia display those qualities
- BitGeek 20y agoRight, all the areas where you previously had to build infrastructure are now free or you can rent them ... and they have become commidtized. Thus a team of a few can focus just on adding value, making the bootstrapping runway dramatically shorter. I'm not sure what the benefit of physical networking is (and thus being in the bay area) other than being closer to VCs, and if you don't need VC funding, there's no point.
