Yes I’d say: - make use of the office hours that YC provides. You can schedule these once you’ve been accepted. They’ve already been doing office hours by video. - ask YC alumni for introductions to investors. The community has really pulle

Buy a tag and become a registrar[1] with your target TLDs. Try to colocate your servers with the registry you are targeting. This gives you root level access to the registry and you'll have lower latency than a lot of the dropcatchers.

> So if you consider an offer from a seed stage company, and try to estimate your upside, divide the shares amount offered to you by at least 1.5 right away. No, multiply by 0 right away.

Not OP, but we are fully remote with a similar sized company and we just wire USD every month after they send us invoices. It’s pretty easy.

Because it could create a situation where small cities and counties are competing against each other to win the favor of workers. It’s not an identical situation, and arguably this competition already exists, but it’s much more obvious when

This reminds me a lot of patio11’s fascinating write up about Japanese Hometown Tax. It makes total sense for small cities to pay for high earning remote workers to move there. Perhaps this will become a trend. https://www.kalzum

I can see how you would come to that (incorrect) conclusion. No sense of entitlement to free lunches, plush offices, massages, and other perks that are common in SV. In return, no expectation of being tied to the office or working crazy hou

I agree with your statement about innovation. The remote workers are getting exposed to outside influences by working for SV companies and with other remote workers. In fact, I think they benefit from exposure to a wider range of opinions

My prediction is that money will keep flowing into SV companies, but the teams will all start going remote. Shogun is fully distributed and it's incredible. We're able to pay amazing salaries to everyone outside of the Bay Area, f
