A business is a business ...a product or a service(candy), a distribution channel (subway), customers (subway riders) and profit margin... that is it!

How many of you (on HN) have done that? the answer can be surprising.

Before thinking about making millions $$$ on a startup maybe try to run a lemonade stand this weekend.

My office was on Main Street, Santa Monica for 5 years. Coming from NYC , the sun , the beach ...wow...after the first year, it started to feel like "groundhog day"...every day blue sky, sun, same stupid movie business conversation, at the bars, with the young drunk girls wannabe movie star...the guy above is so right. The sun , the beach, the drunk beautiful stupid girls are just distractions. Took my bags and now back to the east coast dreaming of the sun.

Re:Ask HN: Founding a startup in New York City? on Saturday September 24, 2011 @02:06PM (#3033881)
I lived in New York City, Sunnyvale (Silicon Valley) and San Francisco.

In California, you spend +- $800/month on car stuff... and your small apart. will eat another $1000/month...

In New York, no car is needed and you can found a shared space for a very good price...the keyword in NYC is "shared". shared apt. , shared workspace...shared girlfriend.

The most important is the people of New York City (including Brooklyn). They are amazing! It will take you a good two years to be accepted as a "local", but when you are "in", they will become your extended family... this is priceless... you won't get this in California.

I always compared New York City as a nasty girlfriend, you want to leave her because she is nasty to you, but you stick with her because the sex is so good.
