Hi, I'm the head of comm. No remote work for us at the moment but remote interviews :)

I rented my place on Airbnb, packed my bag, went to a country I was interested in, looked for a job there (luckily there was no need for a visa because I was in Africa/Middle East and you always find a way around there), found one in a few days (being a foreigner with skills help), and voilà. I didn't save any money, I just looked for a job :)

For the participant to the program: internet is good enough, but I'm looking to get a much better plan in the fall. Security is not a problem. For the cofounder: bureaucracy is not as smooth as in Europe or North America, but it's nothing impossible. Some products are not available in Morocco, but you can easily get them from Europe. Clients are mostly coming from Europe and North America :)

It's usually around 20 to 30C, with a nice breeze. Marrakech has a different weather altogether.

Funny, I saw a similar post on HN today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9347228

It's about a startup residence in Morocco, startups came and work there for one month

If you're a startup catering to international clients, it's better to be registered abroad (especially when you want to move to other countries, and change of scene in the long run). In most emerging economies countries, you can get by on a tourist visa.
