Why are so many VCs stuck in the mindset that “innovation can’t happen outside of SF/NYC/London”? I’ve literally had a pitch meeting where a VC asked where I was calling from and after answering Kansas, asked with a pitying face, “why?”

Dorothy and the wicked witch of the west in a conference call. Prob cuz the talent that's young and hungry migrate to those place and so odds of success are higher there. If you can't afford to move there you prob don't have enough traction. So it acts as a natural filter for earliest stage where risk is highest. idk

I moved _away_ from the coast and won’t ever move back by choice. Controversial companies around security shouldn’t be on the coast — the 100 mile constitution-free zone is the biggest risk of them all.

But it’s also a bad assumption all around — remote work is viable, considering this entire space exists because of an anonymous person organizing everything online. Imagine if a VC said no to Satoshi because they lived in Nebraska

Right but most VCs shouldn’t be investing in Satoshi. This filtering is a feature not a bug. That’s the way I see it anyway.

I would never consider coastal elitism a feature, but I’m happy to seize the opportunity of proving why it’s bad practice through being their missed opportunity.
