I have heard the complaint about no VC money before, and I guess it is true, but I don't understand why. What is stopping Calfornian VCs from investing in German startups? I understand that there is a bit more friction in long distance business relationships like this, but we live in a globalized world.

Discovery, dealflow, pattern matching, and ability to check references. It's best when the folks pitching you are 2nd degree connections (and got to you through a warm intro). These connections to SV VCs are most dense in SV.
