Of course they'll talk to you. The question is whether they'll write the check. Re-incorporating from another US state is not too hard and expensive, although I have seen it hose some companies (for example, Rhode Island is a particularly bad state to be incorporated in). Re-incorporating from another country is much harder and can delay things by a couple months, which is long enough for a deal to fall through. The important thing is to be physically near investors. They'll want to drop by many times during the life of the company.
