You're allowed to say no to your investors. In this case it sounds like you probably should.

$100k isn't giving you much runway in SV. You won't be able to hire anyone, and would soon be out of cash and have to leave (you'll save a portion of your cash for that right?).

If there's something you really want to move to SV for, come for 2 months, stay in an airbnb, and do what you need to do. If you need to and can, raise more money (investors or revenue) if you're set on moving here.
