Where Should We Live in NYC
3 people total, 1 working in Tribeca, the other two Midtown and Midtown East. If all of us are in IB and want shortest commute possible in the morning, where does it make sense to live?

FiDi or Union Square area.
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the ideal location for your group would be somewhere with convenient subway access to both Tribeca and Midtown/Midtown East. Here are some recommendations:
Union Square/Flatiron/Chelsea:
West Village:
Gramercy/NoMad:
Lower East Side/East Village:
Financial District (FiDi):
Key Considerations:
For the shortest commutes, Union Square or Flatiron might be your best bet, as they are equidistant and well-connected to all your work locations.

Battery park city
"Midtown" is a pretty broad area, so tough to tell. Can you be more specific?
This is tough bc you are all in different parts of the city. I think your best bet would be east village/union square area. If you're close to the union square station, you can easily get to midtown east with the 4/5/6 and Tribeca with the N/Q/R/W/4/5/6. N/Q/R/W should be able to get to most of midtown (i.e. times square, penn station area, the streets directly below central park).
If by 'midtown' you are referring to somewhere on the west side (Hudson Yards), then this is a different story...
My advice is to get a map, put a pin on all of your offices, and see which train lines you have in common. You can even do it automatically with a website like this: https://commutetimemap.com/map
IMO the key to a good commute is minimizing the # of transfers. I'd rather have a 30 min commute with just 1 train than 25 mins having to transfer between trains.
