sounds like a fun environment, rent is a little high even by SF standards, and especially for a pre-funding startup, but i guess if/after the angel and vc rounds come, it is not such a concern.

Month to month rent, furnished apts, utilities included, friends and help close by - founders have enough things to think about when running a company that they are willing to pay a premium for convenience. I am.

how much is the rent? will probably make my hair stand on end comparing it to Kansas rents. (just asking so I can get my kicks for the day and skip drinking coffee this morning)

about $2600 for a 2 bedroom.

I'm sure SF is a great social scene... but this seems cash inefficient.

For $2600 you could rent 2.6 houses in the Seattle area... and seattle ain't exactly cheap. Or put another way, you get a nice 2BR house to live in with a yard, and you get a 3BR house to use as the office.... all for the rent of an apartment in SF?

wow! A good 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apt with garage will run you about $850 per month in Leawood/Overland Park - the third richest county in the US in terms of disposable income.
