Ask HN: Startups in Suburbia?

1 pointprezjordan5 comments

I'm from Central NJ, right along the shore. Today, while driving, I was wondering why tech startups are usually in big cities. I thought it would be really neat to have office space near the shore (or on the river around here). Is this foolish?

Some drawbacks I can imagine are you'll need everyone to drive out to it. You may also not have many choices for lunch and dinner.

Telecommute FTW.

Ok, but then why have the office at the beach?

I don't have any definitive advice for you, but I'm curious where you are? I'm also in Central Jersey right on the coast!

Middletown, not right on the coast but close! I was actually driving through Rumson/Fair Haven when the thought popped into my head.
