Many Silicon Valley start-up companies work from home - USATODAY.com


Something close to my situation. I am not yet a company, but even if I do grow to become one, I'd still prefer to keep my current home office as my corporate headquarters. Of course I would add a few necessities such as a meeting table, air conditioning and a coffee maker.

I would want my team to work from wherever they prefer, their homes, coffee shops, or even a bus stop, if that suits them. Our standard corporate equipment issue would be a laptop and a HSDPA modem.

One thing I'd like to see popping up in Sri Lanka is a co-working space. Something basic would do. And I think the ideal place is the WTC, where the 'Deli Market' was. Hmm, that's a business idea. I am sure some multinational offices that have representative offices with only a couple of employees can be lured into permanent tenancy, possibly from WTC itself. Now only if I can find a partner to put in the down-payment for the space.
