Speaking as an American, the people I know who I'd hit up if I actually wanted to start a company who are Swiss work for companies in the Bay Area or a satellite office, I've not heard positive things about startups in Switzerland... nor California really. Basically, high taxes paired with... social stuff? I've known more than one Swiss person but obviously this is the polar opposite of any kind of scientific poll, but I suspect there's something about specific places in Silicon Valley -- like that part of Mountain View with all the coffee shops, or the similar stretch in Palo Alto -- that serve to mix people together in a very analog way that stops happening once you get hired by one of the FAANGs then have to dine every day in the cafeteria. El Camino Real actually has a similar vibe to the road I used to take to church -- the difference being they've built up all these apartment complexes and there's orders of magnitude more cars on that main drag. (I'm from Pennsylvania -- I keep running into tech bros who have this aggressively right libertarian attitude in the extreme short term, which really sucks, since from the perspective of a well I can't call myself a tech savvy at risk youth if I'm in my 30s now guy, we just had everything set up perfect: we scared the ever living shit out of the boomers about what would happen if they stopped having elections, had one, and the new president seems to be actually doing his job, though like most elderly white men, he keeps slow walking things to go try to touch people, and thanks to the magic of federalism, even if social security goes bust they can just raise the taxes on DuckDuckGo.) Anyways sorry to ramble a bit, but the parent's advice of "don't try to raise from VCs until you know what you are doing" tracks with everything I've every heard, and you'd be surprised what the rich, white neoliberals say when they think it's "just us fellas".
