Ask HN: Big Fish in a Small Pond? Moving a Start-up to Cali worth-it?

Is it worth moving a start-up to Silicon Valley Area? If you are funded (assume low millions range) and have a beta (assume internet start-up), would you move your company to Silicon Valley? Having never been involved in a company out there, are the resources that much greater. Is it still worth it when you consider cost of doing business (the increased expense of programmers, cost of living, cost of office) vs. a place like in the mid-west (where you would essentially be the big fish).<p>What else do you consider when making these decision? Have you started a successful company outside of Silicon Valley? Is being there physically that much better, or is having a strong contact out there enough?<p>I know Y-Com mentality is pro Silicon Valley, for well documented reasons, do you tend to agree or disagree?<p>Thanks all
