Comment on Ask HN: If you had to choose a place to start a startup today where would it be?

Comments

If it's online, South Dakota, the business friendly state.

You say "the" like it's uniquely business friendly. If so, what makes it more business friendly than any other state?

Even if that isn't what you meant, could you expand a bit on what makes it "business friendly"?

No income tax on business or personal income. You can become the state’s resident after spending just one night in a hotel and opening a bank account. That’s partially why it’s highly favored by RVers who choose to longer have a permanent home.

There’s opportunity to modify the state’s politics. ;)

I am likely going to set my HQ in that state.

Don't do that. Don't move to an area and taint the books with laws that ruined the place you came from.

I agree. Be humble. Try to understand the existing laws and customs before you come in and try to make changes.

Tell that to the politicians.

Genuinely curious. Tell us more.
