We're not based in the valley.
As far as I'm concerned, you all have it easy. Try running a startup from a remote town in Greece!

Try Alaska. I keep getting phone calls at 4 AM several times a month.

That's nothing! When I were a lad, we ran our startup from Arrowtown in the heart of New Zealand's Southern Alps - and we still do!

ok, you won, Wellington is clearly less remote than Arrowtown. iWantMyName is based in NZ and we love it. I see the valley not as a requirement to be a successful startup "in the US".

Nothing's a requirement, they just raise your chances of success.

Yeah, but it's Alaska. Walk a mile and you cross two time zones.
