      People think of remote work as a way to work for tech cos without having to live in SF. But maybe it's the way the tech cos themselves can escape SF.

      Many tech cos are in SF against their wills because they feel they must in order to recruit talent. If they allow remote work, they can hire people in SF without having to put the company there.

      This doesn't need to mean leaving Silicon Valley. SV is a lot more than just SF.

          We made this decision from NYC about 6 months ago, and realized that amazing talent is everywhere. I started a 2nd company in Belarus that provides full teams of awesome engineers to US startups for 70% less than US devs - let me know if this could be helpful to your companies!

          This will also be extended to investors. SV investors will start to invest in the rest of the world WITH more ease and competing directly with local investors.

          True! While SF has its own charm, the entire Bay Area is quiet fascinating to live and work in close proximity.

          What would it mean for a company to leave SF but remain in SV? It’s not just about moving 20 miles south, is it?
