You can even extend it out and say the same thing about going overseas to other countries. They are often far behind the US, with not many tech entrepreneurs. You can bring US trends and concepts into foreign markets and face much less competition. If you're doing something that's completely new, even in the US, and needs lots of VC, this obviously wouldn't make sense, but otherwise there's a lot to be said about going to less "perfected" markets.

It's amazing how little Germans seem to care about it.
