I recently graduated and my employer is allowing us to work remotely. I want to meet other techies and hopefully meet a potential co-founder. I was considering San Francisco, but since there's a pandemic, SF is less attractive and the housing costs don't seem worth it. I'm considering Denver now cause I can save a lot more and get a decent apartment, but I'm unsure what to expect with startup scene.

I’m starting a business which the idea was derived from an inside joke between my friend and I. The joke mentioned an imaginary product, but we never considered to take it seriously. Half a year later, I haven’t spoken to him in months, and at a hackathon I decided why not work on the idea. Is it unethical to not include him in the business?

I want to work on it alone because I don’t need help to execute with this idea.
