I agree, not all of Europe is the same and moving to London, Berlin, Amsterdam, or similar would’ve worked almost as well. Mainly you find that wherever people go to rather than being primarily born there is full of ambition. But the scale is different. The amount of capital in SFBA dwarfs all other markets combined. And while you can make great indie films anywhere and even have a runaway succes or two, blockbusters happen in Hollywood and Bollywood. There’s a whole industry and ecosystem that knows how to make them. Same with startups. If you want to be in a place with dozens, even hundreds, of people who know how to take an idea from $10mil to $100mil at every level of a company – that’s SFBA. Meanwhile Slovenia just announced an innovative new govt pre-seed startup fund investing up to a whopping $100k if you have strong revenue. Our entire GDP is less than Apple’s quarterly profits. And I figured if I’m moving out of country might as well go all the way to SFBA. I can always come back later with lessons learned.
