i love some of the biggest benefits of Silicon Valley (I moved there from London in 2013):
- access to startup best practices (you’re just immersed in them everywhere)
- opportunity to build relationships (for mentors, investors, customers, partners etc.)
However in the age of COVID there’s not much benefit to being there! This pandemic has catalyzed the move to digital, remote, and asynchronous, so I think the teams that best embrace this new way of working will succeed the most.
Investors will have to adapt and adjust too, so I expect to see more opportunities to develop relationships with investors from afar!
Where are you based @ncameron?
