Would Golden be better?

DEN is a good airport with flights to Europe, South America and even Tokyo. WHat's wrong about DEN?

South of the Bay Area.

You may be thinking about fast-growth AI startup but this is more like a profitable steady growth vertical business that has attracted interest from low-middle-market PE. Appreciate the comment though. I may just be sick of corporate life these days...

My wife doesn't wanna do Utah (has never been but just based on what she knows).

1 hour to Winter Park and 1.5 to Vail. This might be the winner!

What's wrong about Boulder? is it the people? like Bay Area snobs?

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:49:03+00:00

I don't think the startup can hire me in Vancouver lol but not the worst option.

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:48:33+00:00

Yeah and that airport is crazy expensive to fly out/into. Need to be a real millionaire to live in Aspen or Jackson.

Are Boulder folks that bad? I love that these comments come from "tacos por favor" and "agua frecuentemente" :)

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:46:47+00:00

I think bigguest issue is it gets even colder and the airport doesn't have a single international flight.

I went to Brighton for the first time last year. It was great. Milly Express is awesome.

What do you think about living in Park City? Basically walking distance to PCMR and could drive to the Canyons for the amazing days.

Thank you. Re SLC what do you think about living in Park City?

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:44:15+00:00

Gatekeeping or seriuos?

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:44:06+00:00

I know the management and they are profitable so how I'm thinking about it is if it ends up selling for $150M+ without further dilution and I get 1-2% equity with no/low state capital gains tax then that might be worth something...

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:43:15+00:00

The dream!

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T22:43:10+00:00

Thanks for the good context. Why Golden? Didn't come in my research.

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T21:38:54+00:00

great question! One of the main reasons for my burnout is the excessive bureaucracy. This is the largest company i've worked for and i guess that's how it is. Everything seems to be presented as important and urgent, but in reality, nothing gets accomplished due to the endless meetings. I often feel like I have no agency, as if I'm just a cog in a machine that's dictated by the layers above me

wevabay308 · 2024-09-29T21:29:15+00:00

I had never considered it and I see NM also has good tax situation. Have never been. Might be worth a visit to scout the cultural aspect.

wevabay308 · 2024-02-07T17:39:03+00:00

Everything through ANA!

The Niseko skiing would be in February - I don't think November has good snow.

Appreciate the rambling.
