LA Entrepreneur Kurt Varner is bootstrapping it from his car (photo: Kurtvarner.com)
LA entrepreneur Kurt Varner has decided to turn his marriage into a long distance relationship and move himself, in his car from LA to Silicon Valley. Once he arrives there, the creator of Vloggo who’s working on his next start up, Daily Toaster, is going to live out of his Honda Civic.
He writes on his personal blog about his adventure, that his wife is a school teacher in Los Angeles and it’s not economically feasible for them to rent two apartments. Varner also insists because of the thriving culture in Silicon Valley that’s where he needs to be to continue working on the Daily Toaster and hopefully attracting a co-founder that doesn’t mind his infrequent showering.
Varner has arranged to work out of two collaborative work spaces, the first Hacker Dojo in Mountain View. He’ll also work out of Parisoma in San Francisco. Both work spaces offer Varner a desk, internet access, a chair to sit on and a kitchenette which is a vital part to this journey.
More after the break
Varner has stocked up on non perishables like canned Chef Boyarde, Cup-a-noodles, and crackers. He plans to live off food like that and a small amount of perishables he can keep in the fridges at both locations.
As for sleeping that’s going to be in his car. He has folded down the back seat and installed a mattress pad, sleeping bag and pillow. He has to stay in Paolo Alto where it’s still not illegal to sleep in the car.
Although he has had some friends come forward and extend in invitation for him to crash at their places he doesn’t want to over-stay his welcome or not know when he can have access to the house. He prefers to keep this portion of his life minimalistic.
