      He’s an investor of mine who’s sold multiple SaaS businesses for double digit millions

      Exactly. Because startups are only allowed to interview on site in an approved conference room within a 10 mile radius of Sunnyvale.

      I also heard a rumor that getting funding for a startup requires a product with some traction. It isn’t like Sand Hill Road is lined with VC ATMs.

      Read The San Francisco Fallacy by Jonathan Siegel if you think success with a startup has anything to do with a Silicon Valley proximity.
