Well said. Reminds me of something I heard in some interview about what makes the valley special that really stuck with me. It goes something along the lines of:

"There's no other place quite like the valley for starting and scaling a company from the ground up. No other place in the world can even come close to the valley in terms of the sheer number and concentration of engineers, leaders, and investors who have experienced the scaling of a company from the ground up first hand. And those are the people you want by your side when starting your own company, because they can apply their learnings to help your company grow at an accelerated pace and avoid the pitfalls they encountered along the way."

It's the language of the city and the region. Walk through downtown San Francisco and you hear people talking about funding, about IPOs, about engineering, about CAC and LTV. For better and for worse, everyone is in tech here.
