Why does it need to be in the Bay Area? Or any expensive city for that matter? An EBITDA of $2.5mm in the Rust belt for instance is more than successful and would retain and satisfy top talent in the area.

Does the biggest compensation package even attract the best talent? Or does it just attract the obsessively competitive to burn out in style?

It might be easier to convince a VC to give you a few million for salaries than to find 10 world-class developers currently looking for a new job in a rust belt city.
