How to Survive in SF as a Broke Startup
It often strikes me as ironic that the very people who build the connected applications that live in the virtual world of the internet are so obsessed about the physical location requirement of San Francisco (and Silicon Valley), in order to become successful in delivering that virtual offering.<p>That being said I have never worked in or worked for a company in "the valley". I've also been a remote freelancer for 15 years so maybe I just don't get it.<p>Do these talented people really need to be in an office in Silicon Valley, sitting opposite you, tapping away on their keybosrds with their headphones on to as productive or better than me or you?<p>Obviously the data suggests that the most successful companies are there, but is that not just cause and effect?
