This is about right. Silicon Valley has a strong support network for entrepreneurs, the best funding environment in the world, and plenty of great large companies that look positively on startup experience. So the personal risk involved in joining a startup is low: you might miss out on opportunity cost and lose savings while in the startup, but the future career risk is nil. This isn't true in most of the country.
