Sounds like an interesting possibility. Do you know of any start-ups who have successfully done this?

Basically every Israeli successful startup ever. (Eng office in Israel, sales office in the Bay Area or NYC, with senior leadership being very familiar with the US market and often present. Maybe less required now, but still a winning strategy).
I also saw a bunch of YC companies started by foreign (non-US) founders take advantage of deep networks at home.
MIT alumni companies also recruit pretty heavily from MIT even if they move to SFBA, etc. I assume other college alumni networks are the same way.
