There aren't many "world changing" organizations coming out of SV lately, and I'm not sure that claim holds in any case: http://fortune.com/fortune500/visualiz

Even narrowing down to "tech" companies, there are enough outliers that I don't buy it.
Change it to "SV has the best developers searching for VC funding," and I believe it, but I'd still question the cause and effect of the situation...
- scottlocklin 8y agoHard agree. IMO the best tech talent in the US is in finance, telecom and oil, none of which are Valley based. Most of what comes out of the Valley these days is mountebanks with software written by overambitious undereducated kids. Older companies like Google, Oracle and so on still contain pockets of tech excellence, but you can't buy those guys with your startup idea.
