On: Poll: Would you be interested in doing a startup with someone from YC news?

I think it is possible that startups with founders at a distance could work, but it's an additional, huge barrier to success.

Agree...

37 signals seem to have done it though, DHH lived in Denmark for a long time before finally moving to the US.

DHH though worked as a consultant building rails as an in-house tool, while 37S developed web pages.

Not saying it's impossible, but they don't fit the "startup over the internet" analogy.
