I was talking with a few folks about government programs to incentivize companies to open offices in their cities, and a frontier space here is pitching remote employees directly in a scalable fashion.

I originally came to Japan under the auspices of the JET program, which paid me a salary for three years, and I felt really guilty at the time for my perceived gap in effectiveness relative to the size of that subsidy. In hindsight, that may be the best ROI on an ISA from 2004.

Wasn’t a major study just published showing these incentives not benefiting the cities economically, since ultimately most of the upside is captured by the company moving?

Remote work is different. And that should be the caveat. A firm can have a cluster of remote employees in an area.

Sounds very possible. The number isn’t relevant; it’s the eco & support system (plus access to talent pipeline plus vibrancy plus housing), as tech create exponential growth into the future; 50 becomes 500 in a short fashion. Happy to connect if you DM Patrick?

Most of the reason cities do this kind of incentive is because it's easier to deal with one big company than many small ones. Otherwise I suspect they'd get a much bigger return out of being less hostile to small businesses.

The per-state business registration, tax rate establishment and on going quarterly reports needed are *amazingly* different state to state. Have been surprised on these challenges, esp when we hire a single remote employee in a new state. We’re in AZ, CA, CO, IL, MN, and NY now
