Welcome to the valley bro! I moved from MN and it was the best move ever. Don't look back and keep plugging away.

There's no reason to waste cycles trying to figure out all the company stuff. Laws in CA and the advice you will get about Delaware companies really smooth everything out.

You couldn't be more right. The legal advice on incorporation etc. has been a huge help.

I think there is so much room for discussion here, being in a company thats decided to stay and plant roots here in Ohio I hope to be able to add to this conversation soon. I just don't have that information yet. Either way, great post.

Thanks, Ray! We should get a group of Ohio people together sometime soon. From what I understand there aren't too many of us yet...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in six months, Josh. I also have to recommend you come out here and spend a couple weeks getting to know people, too =)
