When new companies start to gain traction—especially tech companies—it's hard for their founders not to ponder relocating to San Francisco. Digital communication tools have shrunk the world considerably, but physical location still matters.
I, for one, have certainly entertained the idea of taking my Sydney-based startup to the Bay Area over the past few years, and I know there would be some serious upsides to doing so. San Francisco has more resources, more like-minded people, more tech talent on the hunt for a new challenge, more capital, and quite frankly, more prestige than cities like Sydney—whose tech ecosystem is so much smaller.
