Cool that you're representing Chapel Hill. I've always been very bearish on the startup potential of the RTP as a whole, but there are some shining stars in Chapel Hill. Durham and Raleigh are produce decent talent with Duke and NCSU, but only CH has a culture analogous to the West Coast.

(FYI, I'm an NCSU grad myself and spent high school and college in Raleigh)

I say no matter what you need to move here. Not coming here is like an Actor trying to get big without putting in anytime in Hollywood. It's orders and orders of magnitude more likely that you'll get funding here. You can always run your Company from back home to save costs or because you have more of a network.

It's not that complicated to move to another place for a while. Just get at least 10K together and go for it.

I'm in Chapel Hill - making plans to head out to SF myself in a few months. I applied to S11 with this: http://tribefind.com - it's like eHarmony for friends.
