San Fran is going to have more people, but it really depends on where you'd rather live. I would advise against working virtually if possible.

Thanks. I have heard Boulder has more computer scientists per capita than any other city in America. Truth?

What is your background - if I may ask?

I agree about working virtually, but I feel I need to get some traction with this first iteration.

I don't think statistics like what you've just stated are meaningful. The most brilliant people who are the most likely to be interested in a startup are going to be in San Fran.

I'm a software developer who's co-owned a company before.

Fair point.

What's your advice for incentivising developers to work on a non-VC funded idea? I have funds to pay for a while, but not a full salary/benefits.
