SV just has the investors who will listen to promises of N-million% growth; investors exist all over the country, but the prevailing risk/rewards seems to have made that uniquely SV attitude the only one where actually investing makes sense. "Hello M. Investor, I would like to start a laser tag place. It will use innovative technologies like drone targets, utilize the cheap real estate and latent suburban customer base of a disused mall, and we think we can conservatively double your investment for the initial capital outlays in ten years."
