Ask HN: Why move to Silicon Valley versus going to London?
I, along with my co-founder, are currently debating whether to move to Silicon Valley (neither one of us has roots there) or go to Britain (one of is British).
I think that startups based in Silicon Valley are statistically going to have a higher chance of a) success and b) funding. But I just don't have raw data or stats to back that up.
Any one care to share something tangible?
