All this helpful information from Valley insiders on how absolutely vital it is to be in Silicon Valley is starting to sound quite a bit like too much propaganda. I don't buy it. But then again, I'm not running a startup in the Valley or elsewhere, so how would I know. It seems reasonable to point out that this has all the hallmarks of self-serving propaganda, whether there is some truth to it or not.

The engineers/etc they know are based in the Valley, so if you want someone who you can have face to face time with on a semi-regular basis, so they can't help you if you don't deal in the area with their pool of people.
- rjurney 17y agoThere's definitely some chamber of commerce talk in there when valley advocates describe the valley, but there's still value in it because... I for one had no idea what it was really like, and I'd been acting in ways designed for the valley, that don't work outside the valley.
