Yes. I'll move, and we will grow the US team. From a business perspective, it makes sense for us be in US. The market is more mature, users are more mature, the ecosystem is unparalleled, and it is easier to raise capital.

However, we will continue growing the India team as well, as it has its own advantages and my cofounder lives here.

US gives the best ecosystem, and market for a startup like ours. The chances of succeeding are higher there, and in the process it ends up being win-win for both startups and US.

Having said that, I take a very capitalist view on it. If the cost of doing business is too high in the US, we will take it elsewhere.

We chose US (New York), because I went to graduate school here, had worked here, and had developed a support system here.

Including my cofounder, 3 people have worked for Mentii in India.

It looks like a very bold and great move. For us, the additional consideration is whether it is worth the effort to maintain the team in two places -- does Canada, the ecosystem & the market, offer enough benefits to justify that. US certainly justifies it. Probably too early to call for Canada.
