Wonderful article. I think from the perspective of a founder, you're spot on in that "tech scenes" don't matter (as Peter Thiel writes in Zero To One, "Positively defined, a startup is the largest group of people you can convince of a plan to build a different future"). Though, I suppose from the reference frame of an angel investor, one would want to be in a Silicon Valley-type cluster, to maximise in-person interactions with interesting founders (Jason Calacanis writes about this in his book). What do you think?
