I don't have a quick-and-dirty answer for you, but look into early tech companies that grew outside of Silicon Valley. The prime example here is Microsoft, which started in Albuquerque (a tech hub at the time) and moved to Seattle (not a tech hub at the time). Bill Gates is the first person that comes to mind in terms of being 'relentlessly resourceful,' as this move was for the intention of being closer to home, not for business reasons, AFAIK.
