Can you do face-to-face kickoff at SoMa / Mission / Palo Alto / Foster City / San Jose (Adobe HQ)?
Yes, we travel to SF Bay for Enterprise-tier engagements and Standard-tier when the client prefers it. Typical kickoff venues we’ve used: SoMa / Mission SF (coffee at Sightglass on 7th or Ritual Coffee on Valencia, close to Stripe HQ, Square/Block HQ, Slack HQ, Notion, Figma; for fintech clients we sometimes badge into Stripe HQ Townsend or 510 Townsend visitor rooms). Palo Alto / Mountain View (University Ave or Castro St, close to Stanford, Tesla legacy, Google, VC offices on Sand Hill Rd; we meet at Coupa Cafe or Philz). Foster City (Visa HQ on Metro Center Blvd, for B2B card-acquirer-direct integrations, we coordinate with Visa engineering). San Jose (Adobe HQ at 151 Almaden Blvd), the global Adobe HQ tower, joint Adobe Commerce + agency planning, useful when escalations or roadmap alignment is needed for Enterprise customers. Cupertino / Sunnyvale / Santa Clara for Apple-adjacent, Nvidia-adjacent, or LinkedIn-related projects. Mission Bay for UCSF biotech. For online kickoffs we use Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams in any PST-friendly slot. India-team daily standup at 9 AM PST = 9:30 PM IST, clean overlap.
