我们应该在哪里注册公司？（我们正在为传统行业公司开发人工智能代理。）
大家好，我在伊斯坦布尔写这篇文章。我的联合创始人正在剑桥大学（英国）学习工程。我们已经开始在土耳其市场测试我们的初创公司（尚未注册），并在两个月内产生了1万美元的收入。目前我们已经收到了50万美元的投资报价。我们的团队包括来自剑桥、麻省理工学院和哈佛大学的工程师。我们现在是由前YC有限合伙人创办的风险投资公司接受的20个团队之一——他们将提供三个月的指导，并可能在之后进行投资。我们在EMEA（欧洲、中东和非洲）和英国市场也有强大的联系。
我的问题是：
我们应该在哪里注册公司？
这家风险投资公司希望我们搬到旧金山。但我们在EMEA市场已经有了一些早期客户，而我们的目标客户主要集中在“传统”的遗留行业——这使得增长变得具有挑战性。我们在考虑是否应该先在这里（EMEA）发展，还是将重点转向英国市场（那里的公司对科技更开放，而我们通过剑桥有一些接触）。
我们确实希望最终能在旧金山——我们知道那里的节奏会促使我们不断进步——但我们目前的收入还不足以支撑搬迁。我们也不想在强有力的产品市场契合之前进行融资。
非常希望听到你们的故事或建议，关于你们是如何处理这种决策的。

Hey HN, writing from Istanbul. My co-founders are studying Engineering at Cambridge (UK). We started testing our startup in the Turkish market (not incorporated yet), and generated $10k revenue in 2 months. We've received $500k in investment offers so far. Our team includes engineers from Cambridge, MIT, and Harvard. We're now one of 20 teams accepted by a VC founded by ex-YC LPs — they’ll provide 3 months of mentorship and potentially invest afterward. We also have strong connections in the EMEA and UK markets.<p>Here’s my question:
Where should we incorporate?<p>The VC prefers we move to San Francisco. But we already have a few early customers in the EMEA market, and our target customers are mostly in "old", legacy industries — which makes growth challenging. We're wondering if we should first grow here (EMEA), or shift focus to the UK market (where companies are more open to tech, and we have some access via Cambridge).<p>We do want to be in SF eventually — we know the pace would push us to improve constantly — but we don’t have the revenue yet to afford moving. We also don’t want to raise before strong product-market fit.<p>Would love to hear your stories or advice on how you approached this type of decision.
