Silicon Valley is often brought in to the picture strictly as a
pragmatic issue. It is hard to think of another region of similar size
with the density of technologically savvy millionaires that you'll find
there. In theory this should give you better odds.
That said, there are plenty of other regions that offer reasonable odds
of finding tech savvy funding. Seattle, Austin, Lake Tahoe, etc. In
truth, wherever you local stomping grounds are offer some of the best
chances at funding. People don't like to fund people from far away
cities who they don't know anything about; having a good reputation in
the locale where you are looking for money helps a lot.
