"it maximizes your chances of success"
I'd question whether being in "the valley" really does increase your chance of success, and also question what's meant by 'success'. If you raise a few million in a first or second round, hire people, then close up shop 2 years later, was that a 'success'? That's probably easier to do out in CA, but if you define success as a longer-term sustainable organization, does being out there really make that much of a difference? Successful companies are built all over the place.
