Recently I met an investor urging me to go live in Silicon Valley. He told me I had my place there and that I could surely work it out based on what I have to offer. He goes there 2 weeks per month.<p>I'm from Québec, Canada. I travelled enough to know it would be alright personnally for me to move to another place. My background is marketing and i've been working on the past three years as a CEO/Founder/Project manager with team composed of designers and developpers for two distinct project.<p>The one I'm on it right now is Tribu. A gamified real life action-oriented social network which encourages benefic behavior. (Still working on the pitch thought)<p>For you people over there, I'm wondering, what it is Silicon Valley will bring me and Tribu that is more than I have right now?
You should move for sure. Here is a great article by a fellow Canadian debating the same issue.<p><a href="http://jakek.posterous.com/just-do-it-move-to-silicon-valley" rel="nofollow">http://jakek.posterous.com/just-do-it-move-to-silicon-valley</a><p>Paul Graham:

I think all of the action is happening in San Francisco. They have more tech jobs now than they did at the height of the dot com boom.<p><a href="http://www.heliummagazine.com/sf-citi-to-make-san-francisco-the-innovation-capital-of-the-world/" rel="nofollow">http://www.heliummagazine.com/sf-citi-to-make-san-francisco-...</a>
