Creating products for your own country while basing your company abroad seems likely to become a big trend among startups, as tech collides with archaic government regulators. It's already happening in many areas.

I'm surprised they didn't mention that this is due to Neapolitan geography, where the pizza was popularized in its current form. The urban legend says that poor people just took the fresh/cheap ingredients they had available:

Actually in Naples, worldwide capital of the pizza, they use Fior di Latte (cow-milk mozzarella) instead of buffalo mozzarella unless you specifically ask for it -- which usually costs more. This is done both from a cost perspective and bec

Founder of Glio here (YC S13). In our case, yes. That's what we did. We incorporated in the US, then came back to Brazil and created a new company owned by the American one.
