Having also read your comments for a while, I keep seeing your use of the term VC-istan. I can guess what you might wish to convey with that, but perhaps you could explain in your own words what you mean by that? (My apologies if I missed a previous explanation.)

He's referring to the fact that Silicon Valley these days operates as a company town of the VC's and BigCo's of tech. You can see it when people from the Bay Area who don't work in anything connected to the tech sector talk about their area: "You can only live here if you belong to the Tech Master Race", and so on.
