That&#8217;s true. Of the interviews I&#8217;ve done in the first month I&#8217;ve interviewed entrepreneurs from Australia, Seattle, Montana. The Valley is &#8212; by far&#8211; the best place for me to live, though. Why? Cause the money in the valley drags enterpreneurs in so I don&#8217;t have to travel as much. </p>
<p>But, the infrastructure here for people starting companies is something I&#8217;ll try to report on more.</p>
<p>One thing I&#8217;m noticing is that the CEO will live here in the SF area, while the development team will live elsewhere. I remember meeting <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/2003/05/29/b2-updates-referer-spamming-b2-and-wordpress/">Donncha O Caoimh</a> in Ireland before Matt Mullenweg did (he is one of Automattic&#8217;s top developers and works for Matt Mullenweg, who lives in SF).</p>
