1. We only take listing we can sell. Most brokers will take every listing they can, with a deal success rate of less than 33%. At Plymouth Financial Group, we only take listing we are confident we can sell. Before any listing is taken-at no cost to the seller-a professional from Plymouth sits down with the seller and explains the sales process, develops a value for the business, reviews all options to sell the business, and determines if Plymouth Financial Group and the seller are right for each other. 2. No Upfront fee! Most of the fax services and listing groups are looking for upfront fees of $4,000 to $25,000, not Plymouth Financial Group. All fees to Plymouth are 100% success based. If we do not sell your business, you owe us Nothing. 3. Marketing Campaign, Plymouth Financial Group uses a professional four step marketing campaign to find qualified buyers, for each of our clients. The process is comprehensive and the best way to find the largest amount of potential buyers, while still keeping the offering confidential. If you are serious about selling your business, and want a professional group to represent you that uses a successful marketing program, with no upfront fees, and the ability to get deals done, then please give us a call.

Team USA to face Canada on opening day in Vermont
ZURICH The International Ice Hockey Federation and USA Hockey have released the schedule of the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey Womens World Championship on Monday. The event will take place April 7-14, 2012, in Burlington, Vermont (USA) and features the top female hockey players in the world.Host nation and reigning champion United States will face eternal rival Canada on the opening day at the Gutterson Fieldhouse, home arena of the University of Vermonts NCAA Division I teams.

THE ANIMALS' SAVIOR Copyright Jim Willis 1999 http://www.crean.com/jimwillis/ Reprinted with permission of the Author
I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter... the cast-offs of human society....I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry.
"God," I said, "this is terrible! Why don't you do something?"
God was silent for a moment, and then He spoke softly.
"Once someone has had the good fortune to share a true love affair with a Golden Retriever, one's life and one's outlook are never quite the same again. A warm afterglow remains that last a lifetime." Betty White, from Arthur Vanderbilt's book, GOLDEN DAYS Updated 2/27/2014 Golden Rescue In Naples, Inc. is a 501c3 Non-profit organization.

Ummmm, if a coach is telling recruits not to come here because nearly every NBA team has a former UK player (at some point), then that coach is a terrible recruiter and we should send him a 'thank you' card for doing our recruiting for us. And one UK player jumping to the NBA does not necessarily equal another former UK player being fired. If MKG joins Wall at the Wizards or Cousins at the Kings, will Wall or Cousins be fired? Don't be silly. The only way a scenario like that arrives is if it's an older, non-producing player whose time has come. And even in that far-fetched, hypothetical instance, that is the choice of the GM, not Calipari. So, the answer to your question is: no. This is in no way, shape, or form "something other coaches could use against us in recruiting".

At the current rate Cal is going at, someday the entire NBA will be made up of UK players and in essence, every UK player he send to the NBA will put another UK out of work because there are only so many teams and so many spots.
Could other coaches say that Cal doesn't really care about his players?
This really worries me.
I'll hang up and listen.

2006 Mitsubishi Raider Duro Cross V6 4dr Extended Cab SB
Prosdesign and looks Constraction
Good Mid-sized Truck For Southern People. — Vehicle is great except it gets very little traction. In rain and especially snow you slip and slide. If you live in the south this is a great truck. If you live in the north ... not so much. I bought it in the south and then moved up north for a job so I have owned it in both climates. It looks great from the outside. Very stylish design with good curves. It gets about 20 MPG which is not good but not bad either. The interior is nice but not the best I have seen. Seats are comfortable. Wish the cab had a bit more room but its enough. Cost of ownership so far as been very minimal. I haven't had any issues in 10+ months. As for fun. This is totally opinion. It has a good V6 and the bad traction makes it easy to spin with. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

On the Christmas Eve day of 2002, Michael Gordon, Joe LeMay, Babu Sherpa Long Chen and I, all of us from SCMA, hiked up the central bowl from San Antonio hut. We found some soft snow, breakable crust, frozen snow, touches of hard ice and steep terrain up the gully. Beautiful, cloudy day in Southern California and nobody else on the mountain. Had very "interesting" descent down the bowl without ice axes and crampons. A bit sporting, even for very experienced group of alpinists. My 131st time on the top. | ||

Attempted baldy a month ago via the blue ridge trail and failed to make it. last time stoped at pine mountain and turned around. this time i decided to take a more direct route. The baldy bowl trail was steeper than i had expected and my wife didn't let me forget about that. sure is a nice feeling to get to the top. Beutiful day, lovely skies and views for miles. | ||

asmrz | Route Climbed: Various Date Climbed: Between 1973 and 2002 | |
My home Summit Logs indicate, that I climbed Mt.Baldy some 127 times between 1973 and 2002. Some trips I remember, in 1983, Miguel Carmona and I climbed the South Ridge to the summit, slept there, then did the traverse of the 3 "T" peaks to Ice House Canyon and from there climbed Ontario Peak and back to car. This was overnight trip with snow on the ground in late December. It was some 10,000 feet of elevation gain and 27 miles of snow hiking. In December of 1999, in incredible wind and snow storm (60mph?), Miguel and I crawled on all four to the summit, only to see two other guys do the same. Michael Gordon (see the Baldy Main Page photo) and Johny (Downtown) Brown were the other insane people on the summit that day. We climbed the mountain in just over two hours via San Antonio Hut in 1994, with 50 lbs packs, preparing for Himalayan Expedition. That hill is an incredible training ground for all of us in Southern California. Love it! | ||

notinkansas | Route Climbed: Bear Canyon route, Ski hut route, Baldy Notch route. Date Climbed: 3 times 2000, 2001, 2002 | |
The Bear Canyon route is the most strenuous and arguably the most rewarding. An excellent route to measure your personal ascent capabilities in terms of elevation gain per hour. | ||

Bob Burd | Route Climbed: Devils Backbone (ascent) / Village Trail (descent) Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2002 | |
Started at 3:45p, made the summit in 2hrs. Windy at the notch, but pleasant on the summit. Planned to take the Ski Hut trail returning, but took the wrong trail. After climbing Baldy West (that little bump to the southwest), I ended up on the Village Trail. Very long, but quite scenic. Dumped me out in the backwoods of Mt. Baldy Village, I swear I thought I was in Topanga Canyon, La Honda, or some other throwback to the 60s. Almost spooky. I thumbed a ride back to my car 3mi back up the road. Total hiking time, 3.5hrs. Climbed Caliente Mtn, Sawmill Mtn, and Mt. Pinos earlier in the day as day 1 of a 3-day So. Cal county highpoint bag-fest. Yes, I'm a moron. Trip Report | ||

madclimber | Route Climbed: Devil's Backbone Date Climbed: July 20th, 2002 | |
An all inclusive trip, we went up Devil's Backbone on the ascent and decended through the Sierra Club Ski Hut Trail. On the way back we took an extra special detour through Manker Cutoff, not recommended. The trail is a proposed advanced bike trail and is not maintained, the trail has a lot of loose rocks and you can fall down easily. | ||

Mike Dornheim and myself reached the summit from Manker Flat, hiking in the afternoon and coming back after dark. It took us about 7 hours, car to car, and I used about 3 liters of water. | ||

43moon | Route Climbed: San Antonio Ski Hut Trail Date Climbed: 07/13/02 | |
This was my second attempt at Baldy. My friends and I made an attempt in May, but the entire mountain was covered in clouds/fog. When we made that attempt everything was covered in ice and we even got caught in a small hale storm. Eventually the cold got the best of us and we called it a day after passing the boulder field. Two months later and we went for it again. We hit the trailhead at about 8:30 and made very good time getting to the ski hut. Some menacing looking clouds had started forming over the summit. Luckily the clouds blocked the sun for most of our climb past the boulder field. As we neared the top, some climbers on their way down advised us that there was a lot of lightning coming from the clouds. We hit the summit at about 12:30. We ate lunch and watched the lightning strikes hitting across the valley between us and the Baden-Powell area. We left the summit at about 1:30. Moments after leaving the summit, I was shocked to realise that I had drank all of the water in my 3 liter bladder. Luckily we had a spare 16 ounce bottle of water to last me for the descent. The descent was rather trying. The heat of the day was in full-effect, and there was no cloud-cover to protect us. Heat became a major factor as we passed the ski hut. It made for very slow going. We made it back to the car at 4:30. If you plan to do this hike in the summer, be sure to bring plenty of water. | ||

Troop 883 bagged another peak. We spent the night with a group from the Sierra Club at the hut(Great Hosts) on Saturday night and climbed to the top by noon on Sunday. We had three rookies with us making their first peaks. Way to go guys! Snow on the trail up from the hut and clear once we reached the notch. The group included 2 adults Scott and Mike and 7 boys Kyle, Pat, Shea, Kevin, Danny, Georgie and Kyle M. We were joined at the hut by a mom and her 7 year old son (Kat and Zaid) they went with us to the top. | ||

The Massachusetts chemist accused of tampering with evidence in thousands of criminal cases across the state could get a lighter sentence than hoped for by the state.
A Massachusetts judge says she won't impose a sentence of more than 5–years if Annie Dookhan pleads guilty.
Prosecutors want her to go to jail for at least seven years.
The judge says Dookhan has no prior record and has a disabled child to care for.

Service-learning program offered through Road Scholar June 1 - 6, 2014
Register online
Take an active part in helping to restore Maine seabirds by joining pioneering researcher Dr. Stephen Kress, and other Project Puffin biologists with National Audubon Society's internationally renowned Seabird Restoration Program. Work alongside Audubon biologists to census a nesting colony of Herring Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls, and Common Eiders. This session provides an opportunity to land on islands that are usually off limits and a chance to learn about seabird identification, bird banding, adaptations, migration, ecology and seabird conservation.
During this program you will help researchers conduct a detailed census of hundreds of gull eggs, chicks and eider nests to measure the health of nesting seabird colonies and assist with the removal of marine debris that can entangle seabirds. You will see puffins and terns at Eastern Egg Rock and the Great Blue Heron nesting colony on Wreck Island. Due to the large numbers of breeding birds on Eastern Egg Rock at this time, we will not land on Eastern Egg Rock. Weather permitting, we will land on Wreck Island to see the Great Blue Heron colony.
"I feel honored and proud about being able to help restore tern habitat. I'm grateful that I discovered this interesting and stimulating program and look forward to coming back!" - Sheila, New Jersey
This popular program is presented in association with Road Scholar (Elderhostel, Inc.) and is open to adults 21+ years old. Participants should be able to disembark onto small landing boats and walk easily over uneven terrain.

The website for Golf Courses in North America |
Online Tee Time Specials Las Vegas, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, North Carolina, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, DC, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and more! |
Want a diversion from playing at the casinos? Want a pleasant golfing experience any time of year? Nevada has it!!! Las Vegas/Henderson can get expensive so check out the off-season rates, or drive one hour West (Hwy 160) to Pahrump and enjoy a fantastic championship course for $40 or so. Mountain Falls in Pahrump is not even well-known to the locals, so when you get there, tell 'em you heard about the course at Thegolfcourses.net. If you must play Vegas Golf, enjoy Badlands, a 27-hole championship Johnny Miller layout, the nearby 36 hole Angel Park, designed by Arnold Palmer, or Silverstone, a beautiful 27-hole club in Northwest Las Vegas. Don't overlook Black Mountain, in Henderson, usually a great bargain for such a good course, another 27 holes of Las Vegas area golf. Or you might want to head out to any of the resorts around the state. Want to get a short distance away for more choices? Try the quieter community of Mesquite, just up the I-15 from Vegas, where many courses await you for some fine desert golf. Southern Nevada too hot for you? Reno or Tahoe might be for you, in Northern Nevada, where you can still get your gambling fix, but play golf among the pines or the beautiful high desert country. In the future, look for Coyote Springs, about 45 miles Northeast of Las Vegas for some Jack Nicklaus resorts.

These pages contain a list of properties that are owned by the Department and are currently for sale. All of the properties listed are repossessions and may include single family residences, condominiums and planned unit developments, farms, land, mobile homes on land, and mobile homes in parks. There are no multiple unit properties, as the Department does not lend on them. In these pages, highlighted words link to other CalVet pages.
You may access the list of properties for sale by either clicking on the county name or the city name that you wish to search. If a county or city name does not appear in the list, then there are currently no properties available in that location. In most cases, the Department displays a photograph of the property.
For most of these properties, we have entered into an exclusive listing agreement with a local real estate agent. Occasionally, some properties are sold directly by CalVet. Repossessed properties are available for purchase by anyone (you do not have to be a veteran).
The properties are marketed by the listing agent shown. Please contact them for additional information about the property or our procedures. The listing section contains their address, telephone number, and a link to a page where you may e-mail them, if e-mail is available. While most inquiries can be answered by the listing agent, you may also contact the CalVet Property Agent listed or call CalVet at (800) 952-5626.
Please read our additional information below if you are considering purchasing one of these properties. All properties are subject to prior sale.
This is a continuation from our "CalVet Properties for Sale" page, which we recommend you read first. These pages contain a list of properties that are owned by the Department and are currently for sale.
Each property is initially offered for sale through a sealed offer advertising period, which is a competitive process. A "for sale" advertisement shall appear in a local newspaper which services the area where the property is located, for a period of at least fourteen consecutive days. An asking price will be stated in the advertisement, but all offers will be considered. Only sealed offers are accepted during this period. Our form, "Offer To Purchase Repossessed Property" is available for downloading. Contact the listing agent shown for the starting and ending dates of this period.
The Department attempts to sell repossessed properties to the highest qualified offeror, however, we may make the determination that there are no acceptable offers. Highest qualified offeror is defined as the person who submits the highest acceptable offer (provides the highest net dollar amount from the sale) and who verifiably qualifies for the necessary loan. If the property does not sell as a result of the sealed offer advertising process, then it will remain listed for sale and open to offers at any time.
We recognize two different "As Is" concepts. The first involves selling the property "As Is without representation or warranty", thus ending our involvement with the property when it is sold. We will do this without exception. The second "As Is" concept involves our willingness to do repairs during the escrow period. We may consider requested repairs, however they would be figured into the Department's calculation of net dollar amount from the sale.
Prevailing CalVet loan terms, fees, and rates shall apply. CalVet financing involves several different loan programs and funding source types. Down payment requirements vary with the different loan programs. The availability of some funding source types depends upon the eligibility of the veteran. See a CalVet loan application package for further information. Also, non-qualifying veterans and non-veterans purchasing CalVet repossessed properties are limited in the loan programs and funding sources available to them, and are subject to an interest rate which is .5% (one-half percent) above the stated rate. A buyers signature on the CalVet application shall be evidence of the buyer's acceptance of CalVet financing policies.
The properties are marketed by the listing agent shown. For additional information about the property contact them at the address or telephone number shown, or use the web site's e-mail form. You may contact the CalVet Property Agent shown on matters which cannot be resolved by the listing agent. All properties are subject to prior sale.

Why You Need to be in Silicon Valley
For years I didn't believe this. I thought that you could take advantage of the benefits of Boston, Seattle, NY, Austin – cheaper talent, no echo chamber, local Universities, etc.. But I give up. I found myself telling an entrepreneur why he had to be in Silicon Valley if he wanted to succeed. Most of my points are about Consumer Internet businesses…
I won't belabor the obvious reasons – the Investors are here, the best engineers and entrepreneurs self-select and come here, Stanford and Berkeley, yadda yadda.
Instead, here are some points that you may not have considered:
- Especially on the Consumer Internet, modern businesses are becoming winner-take-all (thanks to leverage and network effects). Therefore, if you're 10% better than the competition, you win, likely the whole market. You need every possible edge…
- All of the companies that you need to partner with are out here. Business development doesn't happen in formal meetings. It happens in informal coffees, parties, and relationships.
- If you are here, your network will be using all of the latest tools – Twitter, Foursquare, Quora, Nexus One, etc., before other networks in other cities will. These networks hit critical mass here earlier and are thus more valuable to the early adopters here. You'll have a 3-month+ head start on people outside to see what's coming next. Imagine trying to design next year's clothing without firsthand immersion in this year's fashion, in Milan or Paris.
Sure, it's possible to build a great Consumer Internet business starting out somewhere else, but given that these are winner-take-all businesses, do you want to start out that far behind the curve?
64 Responses
Those are all good points, but there are downsides too. It's a lot more expensive to start a company in the Valley than other places. There is more competition for talent and resources. Not all businesses are based on bizdev deals.
Hey, I'm not saying the Valley is bad. Obviously its great. But its not the only option. As open source and cloud computing continue to drive down the capital requirements of tech startups, investors become less important too.
Joshua, you can't compare SV costs to those of NY (I lived in NY for 12 yrs, and have been living in SF for less than 2). Everything is more expensive in NY!
joshua, i think naval's point is that in a winner-takes-all environment, the upside outweighs any and all of those downsides. yes, you have to spend more, and you have to deal with the competition for talent and resources, but those costs are inconsequential if it means you win.
Joshua is right on the money here.
Certainly there are places that are more expensive, however, SV is indeed extremely expensive. Competitors hunt-down your best talent shamelessly. I worked for a company based in Mountain View, right across from Google, and saw a number of employees leaving for other firms withing a fairly short amount of time.
Attrition for your business is what the the cost of living to you… Two negatives do not make a positive.
There's a reason why you see so many CA license plates in Austin TX these days.
Very true. Love this post. Almost makes me regret applying to so many out-of-state colleges…
Naval, you are right on. I have to learn this costly lesson by experience. Though ours is not a consumer internet service, our small business targeted service demands as much leverage. We are just moving to the valley, even though over development base is in mid-west. Of course, you have left out the fact that most of the angels and investors operate out of the Silicon valley, for obvious reasons I guess.
Naval – thanks for your precious article, and please, keep writing stuff about the Valley. It's really important for who is not so lucky to be there, find passionate people like you that want to spend time in telling us how things really work in your ecosystem. Very often I heard of what you pointed out, especially the part related to the "business deals made outside the meeting rooms".
Can you tell me something more? I'm really curious. How does it happen actually? Can you give me some practical sample?Massimo
nay, take a look at facebook, a bostonian startup, i've heard they are pretty successful
Yes Facebook was started in Boston but do you know where their headquarters are now? In the Bay Area.
That moved to Silicon Valley!
"take a look at facebook, a bostonian startup"…That moved to Palo Alto, and ended up being able to scale (to some degree) because of the huge number of valley employees that were brought on board in the first 18 months. They came from eBay, Opsware, vmWare, etc…
Where else can you find that large number of 5 year+ of real-world large scale consumer internet operations experience?
I wonder how good the Valley is for startups related to the Finance industry because of the time zone difference with Wall Street.
What do you think?
Yes, there is an established community, and there are advantages to enjoying close contact with the competition.
However, you don't have to move to a big pond to become a well-fed fish… and the skills can also be caught, before they flock to the valley.
This is a young industry, and the clients do not live in the valley. Client understanding is the oil that greases an average software company's productivity, with exception to the minority of businesses that supply direct-to-consumer services.
One other factor to consider is California's right to work provisions. Because engineers and other employees can freely leave companies to start up their own or to join others (often without having to worry about non-competes), the velocity of ideas is much quicker.
Also, from a legal perspective, California lawyers are much more familiar with the rules of start-ups. This is a big deal as it cuts transaction costs.
I'm not all that familiar with the Valley, but I can see New York someday growing enough to compete. New York will likely need a few lucky breaks along the way to truly establish itself as a competitor to the Valley, but it has a shot because of its ability to attract intellectual capital. However, overall, I think that you're spot on in your analysis.
I think NY has a major problem which it shares with London. Top talent is syphoned off into high paying golden handcuff jobs in the finance industry. It is very hard for startups to compete with the salaries that financial institutions will pay for top talent. It is seriously corrupting.
Well said. Though initial cost for a roof is something worth considering
An entrepreneur who is focused to success and do not give himself any other option and do not accept any reason to give up can do it from North pole if needed.
Conversely, imagine trying to design the next year's worth of clothing to be sold at target from Dior's offices in Paris or Italy.
I agree with you as far as companies like foursqure and twitter are concerned, but that is, let's be honest, a tiny market. While facebook does have serious market share, consider companies like salesforce or survemonkey or naviance or 37 signals. These are multimillion, or multibillion dollar companies that are reaching non-technical consumers.
If you want to design haute couture like websites, for the technorati, by all means be in silicon valley. If you want to reach the mass consumer market, nobody cares if you use foursqure or nexus one, and nobody has heard of quora.
You are bang on with that. Mainstream market products can be run from anywhere. And exactly, no-one outside of the tech bubble has ever heard of Quora.
I think Mischa and Zoran miss Navals point which was exactly that people outside of the Valley who are not in tech do not know what quora is, but everybody in the valley does. So if your company was the next quora, you really have a more nurturing environment of early-adopters and harsh competition that are going to strengthen and polish your consumer Internet product/service before the general mass market even knows it exists. Another reason you should probably not be afraid to fail, because if it can't stand on its own in the valley, it will probably get killed quicker and save the entrepreneur and its investors some time tinkering around with it.
I think this is nonsense, for two reasons:
1. Anyone who needs 'local access' to a partner to make a BD relationship work is making their partnership decisions for the wrong reasons. Further, the idea that BD happens only in informal settings is a misinformed approach that goes against having firm criteria and a strong sense of merit-based reasons. Web-based talent lives everywhere and while local is nice, making it a prevailing criteria is insecure and flawed.
2. Good BD is by no means 'informal' and should be the result of careful thought and rigorous vetting — getting along is great but far from a requisite criteria.
I have lived and done BD in Chicago, SF and NYC and think this view is myopic, poorly-informed and lacking in any basis. Consumer web stuff is founded, built and wins from non Silly Valley places all the time.
I'm sorry, but your comment is "myopic, poorly-informed and lacking in any basis". Sounds like sour grapes to me.
I couldn't agree more with your third point-business doesn't happen in formal meetings, it happens in the "real" world. Not having a presence in a focus city should be seen as an opportunity cost to your business.
Some of the most crucially important meetings for your startup could be those random meetings on the street- running into Jack Dorsey at Sightglass coffee, your next investor at a Commonwealth Club meeting or your next potential developer at a bar on a friday night out. Silicon Valley is small, and San Francisco is even smaller- by leveraging its built in network you're able to accomplish things much easier than just pounding twitter/FB/email.
Silicon Valley is by no means the only place this happens, but for tech-focused startups, there doesn't seem to be a better place to be. If you're a financial based startup- New York may be better. Biotech- Boston, but find where that center is and be there in some way shape or form. Rent may cost a bit more, but the better question is- can your startup afford the opportunity cost of not being in the valley?
There are many compelling reasons to set up shop in Silicon Valley. But Twitter, Foursquare, and Nexus One aren't on the list and are widely used amongst my peers in various other locales.
Good idea…
There's a big difference between being in Silicon Valley and being from Silicon Valley.
I think having a presence in Silicon Valley, especially if that's where the ecosystem for your products is, can be valuable, but your article is making a case for having a sales rep or biz dev person in the valley, not a company.
The internet has made it meaningless to be in the valley. You start your company where you can find the best cheapest talent taht you can afford.
I wrote at length about this subject in this post about where to locate your startup

how many winner take all business successes will there be? will they mostly be in silicon valley? or will it simply be a weighted distribution, according to population for example. at core there are a lot of factors, for example you may start in austin and then move to the valley or vice versa for a tremendous number of reasons. it somewhat reminds me of the thinking re ivy league schools, and the value and odds for success related to going there. obviously there are a lot of exceptions. bottom line entreps are opportunistic and will do what it takes to succeed. obviously there will be plenty of successes outside of the valley, and austin as a lot to offer, for example. and of course, there is nothing like being in silicon valley, it is indeed the capital for startups. then again, may be folks should consider china or india for the future. that makes my point about complexity.
oops botched my website, also, consider the odds are not great to create the next tsunami, winner take all game changer co. a solid business is worthwhile and the odds are most likely more in your favor, i enjoyed this video on the topic http://www.omnisio.com/startupschool08/david-heinemeier-hansson-at-startup-school-08
Good point!
I hear a lot of people say that it is less and less important to be in Silicon Valley, but my team isn't buying it for the reasons you described and are moving to Mountain View soon.
I look forward to getting more insights from you!
I run a mobile services startup for Indian market. Do you still recommend I should be in SV instead of India?
The assumption you are making is that consumer internet markets outside US and Western Europe can be dominated by being in SV. There are many business models for which you need local knowledge and need to start locally.
You make some very good points.
Jigglypufflove33 on August 9, 2009 I was tinikhng on the final showing they would say:"This play! Was only for now…"
Totally agree. With this in mind our founders came to Silicon Valley from South Africa … a long way away:) Being here in the Bay Area is very expensive but absolutely worth it.
Forgot to mention that I shared the same view in July 2008: http://kevinsgreatadventure.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-silicon-valley-must-for-your.html
Thanks for great posts here and on Venture Hacks.
Kind regards
Kevin -
Bit of tough luck for us Europeans, heh?
Most start-up entrepreneurs need a good dose of reality, I'm afraid. It's quite likely that 99% of us will NEVER create a 'winner takes most of it' let alone a 'winner takes all' business.
For most people, moving to SV or it's environs simply makes you think you're doing something of value to the startup – the money spent and disruption experienced could be better spent on achievemnt within the business.
In the film industry there's what are called 'Cappucino Producers' – people in Hollywood or London who are in the right place, at teh right time, with the right ideas, meeting lots of people, but who never actually manage to get a project off the ground because they're distracted with the lifestyle.
Don't become an Espresso Entrepreneur.
At last, somenoe comes up with the "right" answer!
I am sorry but this article opinion is a decade out of date. If the year were 1997 I would say it's spot-on, but dear the bubble burst and many of the dot.coms went away – the world changed. It's not as though you don't have good points, but the same points exist here in NYC, and in Boston.
I agree. Technology has evolved to the point where business can be conducted and business relationships established from anywhere. Virtual business can be conducted anywhere without sacrificing necessary resources to do it. Look at TreeHugger.com—no office, no permanent staff or anything. It sold to Discovery Communications for millions.
Try some of those tricks in the real world and you won't get very far… "Invest in my restaurant! No-one wants to pay for our ice-cream enchiladas, but they're made by some of the best trained chefs in the world and everyone's talking about them time down the local coffee shop!"
Actually… ice-cream enchildas sound quite good…
Quite true, though some companies set up offices in 2 destinations, slideshare, clicable, pubmatic etc. have one in the valley for business and a development center in India, China, or another asian destintation. They also have access to VC's that have a mandate to invest in the US / EU and VCs who mandate to invest in Asia.

You forgot to mention one aspect of silicon valley that is the envy Boston, Austin, NY … and any other foreign cities around the world – WEATHER!
I spent 7 years in the east coast before I relocated to SV. I don't think I can ever survive another winter or the humid summer of the east coast ever again. And the one summer I spent in Austin was definition of hell. Sorry guys… even without the start up advantages of silicon valley, it's just a lot more pleasant place to live and is well worth the extra cost to live here.

Great piece although I'm still skeptical. I believe you want to be part of a community of like minded people and be closer to talent and money. However there is talent and money in many places. Meeting people and communicating with them can be done in so many ways now, that it seems almost unnecessary to move to a certain spot unless you just like living there (which I can see because SV and SF are great)
I think it depends on what kind of startup you have. If you're trying to introduce a disruptive technology, then yes, the valley is probably the best place to be due to an abundance of talent.
Increasingly, we see wildly successful startups emerging outside of the valley. These startups may be considered "technology companies" because they use the Internet as their platform but their disruption is not technology but rather business models eg. Groupon, Gilt, RueLaLa, The Ladders.

Blockbuster discounts old 40GB PS3--still a ripoff
A leaked internal memo shows that Blockbuster will be lowering the price of the entry-level 40GB model PlayStation 3 this weekend. Kotaku was able to get a screenshot of the memo, which clearly shows a new price of $360. Also, the store-exclusive Spider-Man 3 Blu-ray/Transformers video game and HDMI cable bundle will drop to $460.
This may seem like a decent bargain, but remember that $40 more will double your hard drive capacity to 80GB. (Confusingly, the "old" 80GB model, which had four USB ports and flash media slots, has mostly disappeared from store shelves. The new … Read more
