I think you have a valid point.

Also I think you mean 'hipster' instead of 'hippie'.

But - there are a lot of said 'hipster companies' in the Valley, moreover, the cult has spread beyond: it exists even in the copycat cities of Montreal, Van, NYC, Austin, Boulder, yada yada.

I'm well into my 30's an the last few start ups I've consulted with - both in the Valley but not well known - were undeniably trying to be too hip.

I'm as cool as late 30's something can try to be without losing any dignity :) but I felt like Grampa Simpson (not my antiquated pop culture reference)

As far as I can tell it's spread across the whole country. At the very least, it's definitely present at startups in Chicago, where I'm at, and Chicago doesn't have that strong of a startup scene (it does have one, but it's pretty small compared to other metro areas).
