for my $0.02 worth...
various postings have talked to some degree about starting a functioning business in india/china/etc...
some of the postings have talked about the need to meet on a periodic basis, and other issues. other postings have gotten into the locations, and the pros/cons of the areas...
if you're serious about starting a business, i would argue that these issues are secondary. i would argue that if you get a small team of developers/marketing/sales then you can put together a sucessful small business that can grow. i would argue that you can do this as a Sweat Equity/Boot-Strapping operation.
this implies that the founders/developers are serious, and willing to forego immediate compensation from the venture until it generates revenue.
however, i would state that the vast majority of people who wnat to call themselves entrepreneurs, are not willing to get together with others that they don't actually know/trust to do this kind of operation/venture.
the current state of technolgy is that if you put into place 10-20 servers with the appropriate tools you can create a developement environment for software development. you can have your developers be anywhere, and have them working on the codebase. the project mgr can manage the project in a remote manner as well... marketing/sales functions can also occur in a remote manner...
there are free/crude tools to do this right now. what's lacking are the 5-6 guts who can agree on the idea to start, and who really have the commit to create this kind of venture.
i would argue that if there was a team that was willing to do this, you could be up/running/developing code within 1-2 weeks, and depending on the application you go go for, you could be generating revenue within 3-6 months...
if you're serious about further discussions of this model, hit me up.
comments/thoughts/etc..
