>As a side note, I still bet most of this forum is against this ambitious personality, affirming at the end of the day that "there is more to life than your projects, go out and live, meet someone, fill out your social schedule, etc." Sounds like you are conflating being ambitious with being entrepreneurial. It's possible to have a meaningful career without starting your own business, not to mention building something of value without it. And all of this is possible outside of the valley. There is a particular trajectory for a business that the valley is amenable to systemically and culturally, but that means very little.
