Not west coast by an ocean, but in my experience there's no specific dress code as you try to cast it, instead there's a dismissal of suits in particular. You can dress up in Goth fashion and play it Cyberpunk if you want, people will whole fully accept it. And it's also not unspoken at all, startup culture is straight pitched as disrupting traditional business, which makes suits a faux pas. I'd compare it to wearing a Jonny Walker cosplay at a Anonymous Alcoholics meeting. It's not the dress code, it's what you're trying to convey.
