Unfortunately it's almost impossible to move to these hot cities from many countries. Visa is really a problem. So we need to work hard to get our own local startup hub. I'm from Armenia.
Agreed. Not just in other countries, but many rural areas of the US. There are some incredibly talented people out there that may not be able to move for one reason or another. How do we bring these startup hub advantages to everyone?
Really? Smart move on their part. There's so many talented engineers in the developing world that are 'hungry for it' - Just what startup founders are looking for in a partner.

Last one looks similar to Lean Startup Canvas - http://leancanvas.com. Though not sure how is it helpful in this case.
FYI, UK introduced a "startup visa" this April.
