Now that I think about it, it feels a bit "off" to me that we refer to both behemoth, money printing companies like GOOG and AAPL and smaller, money hemorrhaging, ultra-growth phase Series A and B companies as "Silicon Valley" in the press.
They're really whole different worlds, perhaps best separated as private vs public companies, and it's strange that we haven't clearly made a verbal distinction between the two.
