San Diego isn’t Silicon Valley. And that’s fine by me.
- joelle 13y ago"...we can build San Diego into a Virginia or a Philly: a place to be inspired by other smart people who are building sustainable lifestyles, profitable products, and happy families. That’s where I want to live." Love this. People rarely talk about tech startups and sustainable lifestyles/happy families in the same vein and it's a shame. It's one of the biggest benefits I see to building a product company and I think there ought to be more emphasis on that. The whole silicon valley "universe"of fighting for funding, planning exit strategies, pitching contests, accelerators, etc is pretty unappealing to me. Great job on calling that out :)
- goldvine 13y agoTotally agree - it's been the best part of the past year. Having the freedom to do whatever ya want every day. I don't understand the hate towards "lifestyle" businesses.
