It won't be a waste of resources if the place you go is cheaper than your current location. Your burn rate will go down this way.

I know 3 teams first-hand who moved to "cheap" places (two in Bali, the other one being us, in a small rural village of France), all while doing remote consulting, to bootstrap businesses (I'm bootstrapping https://www.wisecashhq.com).

I can say we have a pretty good work-life balance, all while being indefinitely sustainable, under that setup.

can I suggest (completely off topic) before you launch to get a domain other than wisecashHq just because it would be better to not have 2 repeating H (especially if you are in france, where the ache sound might make pronunciation tough) wisecash.co ? or something easy to spell. good luck! or better said bonne chance!

You have a good point, and I completely agree. This "Startup Paradise" is advertised as almost the exact opposite of that though. While the area may be cheap, trying to do a worthwhile startup under the guise of a tropical vacation detracts from the intense effort required to put into the company.
