- abdulla 16y agoI wouldn't take it too seriously. Many of the major tech companies and investors have significant operations in the valley, which requires a large portion of the talent to live in the valley. These people then proceed to start other companies in the valley, and so the cycle continues. At least that's the impression that I get.

This is particularly true if you want to start a family, which chops off the population at age 30 or so. There's a great romantic myth of the twenty-something founder, and sometimes it's true, but lots of great companies founded by 30-50 age bracket people with a lot of experience under their belt too.
