I am working on a AI HW idea and building a prototype for it. I am planning to build a startup for the product in USA. I am thinking of starting it in Austin, TX and I would like to gather opinions from this forum before making this decision. I considered BayArea, CA and Seattle, WA and these locations are good choices with great access to talent and Venture capital investors, but these locations are expensive to hire engineers.
I am thinking of building this company in a low cost location that still have good access to HW engineering talent pool and Venture capital investors. So, Austin, TX may be a reasonable choice. If anyone went through this path in building a HW company in Austin, TX, can you share your wisdom, opinions, suggestions? It will help to make the decision.
Thank you.
