Those of us who can work remotely are incredibly lucky. I spent last winter motorcycling and working in Mexico.<p>The photo of the Macbook by the ocean brought back memories. I had a nice little house on the beach for $500/mo. Unfortunately computer equipment won't last long in the salty air. My keyboard gave out after about a month.
I'm a solo-founder, but I made the move to the mountains of Puerto Rico for similar reasons. Next year I'll move with my wife and kids to the beach.<p>By moving, we're able to survive on passive income from a few web properties so I can do nothing but think about building new websites and services.<p>For a team, I highly recommend it. You can stretch that runway really far and decrease your burn rate by moving lots of different places.
I'm interested in similar options for startups. Where was the company registered, and what would be the taxes, etc?<p>I would ideally want to start a company in Silicon Valley or any other tech centres of the U.S., but I guess such an option would require shelling out a great deal for taxes, offices, living expenses, salaries, etc.<p>Being Indian, Bangalore isn't an option either given it's rise in CoL.
Weren't you guys in Startup Chile? I swear you've been getting play out of the "we relocated to Morocco" story for years-- not a criticism, good on ya!
I spent 10 months traveling and contracting in hostels, and struggled through some pretty shoddy and slow internet connections; However, Taghazout was the one place I couldn't find a consistent internet connection. I only lasted about 2 weeks trying each cafe and even some of the more expensive hotels, but the bigger problem was the power dropping out every 2 hours or so. I tried to get myself to be able to with develop offline, but unfortunately the product ending up getting more and more tied to SaaS products and I wasn't able to stay in Taghazout for longer.<p>I was curios to see where they found to setup and it turns out they are actually in the adjacent town. I can think of a couple other good reasons to setup somewhere else, but I imagine reliability is part of the reason they are located in the next town over.
The big question is how they are going to grow, or is it small enough to only ever need 3 people (err...)<p>A company needs to grow and while this will work for the short term, to attract talent you need to have a talent pool.
