Not being in SV, I am jealous of "pay-it-forward" culture of SV. Seattle doesn't seem to have same culture. Actually, even remotely by phone, I had better success with SV people giving me some time for discussion compared to Seattle people. Personally, I take any meeting/concall request from entrepreneurs as long as I have relevant domain knowledge and I know I can add something positive to the conversation. I invariably learn more from such discussion specially when I rehash the discussion in my mind afterward.
