This is not related to your business at all, but what is it like living (and working?) on Treasure Island? Are there restaurants, bars, etc? It seems like such a weird place being a former military base. Admittedly the only time I've been is for the yearly music festival.

It's actually a wonderful place. Nice and calm. There is one grocery store, one small pub (or as you want to call it) and an avenue centre. A lot of lawns.

Whenever you want the busy mood of the city in 15-25 minutes you are the Transbay terminal by bus (24/7).

It always seemed to me to be cold as hell, with a view worth a billion dollars once or twice a quarter -- how does that correlate with your experience?

We think it is just a calm great spot if you are full inside the development of your product and, like us, you do not need too many amenities, but rather to focus and take a nice walk/run along seaside from time to time. And San Francisco is literally 10 minutes bus, running 24/7. I wouldn't say it is the right place to settle down, but it's in our opinion an environment totally suitable for lean product bootstrap.

It's a bunch if low income housing with a hideous commute anywhere getting onto the bay bridge in either direction is a time consuming venture. There's practically no infrastructure on the island. Hence being inexpensive to live there. Great place to get in with the red mafia though, if that's your thing.

The "red mafia"? Who or what is this?

[hnriot]

Russian mafia.
