The only reason to start a tech company in CA was the proximity to talent and capital. I always found it funny that supposedly cutting edge high tech VC’s wanted you nearby when we had all the tools to base anywhere in the world. Seemed like they were unnecessarily limiting deal potential. Same thing with engineers. Now that remote work has accelerated into the mainstream, there is zero reason to base in CA, and many reasons to go elsewhere. Edit: also, the CA of today is very different from the one that cradled the computing industry.
