I'm sure there are hundreds, but I really want to know how many are serious and what their motivations are. I applied this cycle because I need to be somewhere where big ideas + execution are considered the norm rather than where I am now, where web apps seem like a thing to put on your resume to get work at a bland company writing Crystal Reports on business development ROI.

  Think I could find that in say... Seattle? Who should I talk to then? I'm not ready to pick up and move to the Valley. Yet.

    Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered near Seattle, and other well-known companies (eg Google) have offices in the area. Plus I am sure there are lots of smaller companies around.

    no, go to SF or stay where you are till you're ready to move to SF.

  I'm strongly considering it, it's a lot more difficult for a non-american though. If I was from Portland or Tuscon, I'd be there already.
