Ask HN: Moving our Startup to Sillicon Valley for Sucess?

[cartab]

So, we're located in Miami, FL and there has been some interest by angels and investors in our product. However, when they learn that we are not in the Valley it kind of turns them down.

Is being located in the valley a good thing?

The startup i'm talking about is this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1748623

Has the Miami community done anything to help you? I made the move from Miami to the valley once. Happy to help give guidance.

jason,

Not at all. I feel Miami is empty in terms of investors for startups. I may be wrong, but thats what I've felt.

It sounds like you can firmly state that "Miami is empty in terms of investors for startups that we can find", which is what really matters.
