auctomatic "moved" back to London in the sense that we're filing visa applications to get back out there asap. what's more interesting is the number of Cambridge startups that end up in SV (usually in the Crystal Towers building)
It's just an apartment building in San Francisco, but a freakish number of their units are rented by YC founders at this point. It feels more like a dormitory than an apartment building.
sounds like a fun environment, rent is a little high even by SF standards, and especially for a pre-funding startup, but i guess if/after the angel and vc rounds come, it is not such a concern.
Month to month rent, furnished apts, utilities included, friends and help close by - founders have enough things to think about when running a company that they are willing to pay a premium for convenience. I am.
how much is the rent?
will probably make my hair stand on end comparing it to Kansas rents.
(just asking so I can get my kicks for the day and skip drinking coffee this morning)
I'm sure SF is a great social scene... but this seems cash inefficient.
For $2600 you could rent 2.6 houses in the Seattle area... and seattle ain't exactly cheap. Or put another way, you get a nice 2BR house to live in with a yard, and you get a 3BR house to use as the office.... all for the rent of an apartment in SF?
wow!
A good 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apt with garage will run you about $850 per month in Leawood/Overland Park - the third richest county in the US in terms of disposable income.
