Garry's SF Guide to Where Your Startup Should Be

It's interesting that he didn't include the Financial District. I know of a number of startups there, including some YC startups. He did make this a couple years ago though, and it may be that that's a more recent expansion as it's gotten harder to find reasonable options in SOMA.

I worked at Cloudera's office in FiDi over the summer and liked the area a lot. Super-convenient via BART (less convenient than SOMA via Caltrain, but one could always transfer to BART at Millbrae). Right in the middle of everything. Good food options. Felt pretty safe walking to BART after dark because there's enough people around.

+1 for FiDi -- we at Parse are right on California and Market, as are a lot of other new startups. Being right off of BART and having awesome access to the ferry building and downtown is very convenient. Also, lots of lunch options.

It seems like startups tend to move north once they get to the stage where they're not quite really startups anymore. Dropbox is a classic example. I don't know how easy it is to find space up there if you're not using a whole floor of an office building, though.

north? That doesn't sound like a general trend (I'd expect south), and doesn't match my understanding of Dropbox's moving pattern (153 Kerney to Market St. to near AT&T park.)

I was thinking of their move to 153 Kearny.

N, K, T Muni Metro line makes going from Caltrain to anywhere along Market easy. Also plenty of buses along Sansome/Battery (10 line in particular)! FiDi/Downtown and Jackson Square are the way to go these days it seems since SOMA is pretty much not available. Also Potrero Hill for lower costing nice spaces but you're kind of stuck away from everything it seems like.

FiDi does have the best lunch options in the city M-F.

Yes, and the worst lunch options Sat & Sun.

Nearly no dinner options on any day.
