Is it? I was under the impression that it started around Redwood City or Menlo Park and went south from there... and that there was also a lot in San Francisco.

Are there startups around, say, San Mateo?

Wikia was in San Mateo for a few years before moving to SF. Cheap place to bootstrap, easy access to SF and the valley. Not convenient for people in the east bay, but otherwise not bad.
