No, there is nothing to tie most developers to Montana, especially other work opportunities.

  Exactly. If the startup fails after a year (which is a high probability for any startup), you're going to have to pay for an expensive relocation back to where the jobs are. Other risks (of any job) include: they can fire you at any time, it could end up being a shitty place to work, etc. So being able to find another job is very important. A business in an isolated location like that might have more luck hiring remote employees.

  Aye - seems very "eggs in one basket"-e. I could see folks that are starting a new business with relatively few employees and no immediate plans for explosive non-remote worker growth being interested though. As for me, I don't have a reason to move to a small city without many non-related work activities to engage in. I like the city life. I understand that others would embrace the slower-paced outdoor Montana life style. However, for me it is not a selling point :(
