Where to invest $300-600k in Silicon Valley?

Spend at least $50k of that visiting the Valley regularly, attending conferences, and building up a network of contacts. Otherwise you'll get crappy dealflow and almost definitely lose it all (if you decide to invest at all).

I live here fulltime. More time networking is definitely on the cards - but I think I need to concentrate on new circles. For example, I know well known processor architects but no web people.

Since you know many well known processor architects, why don't you try to invest in the area you already know(hardware)?

Startups are not all about WEB.

If you are actively looking to invest, contact YC and ask about demo day. I'm sure there will be a lot of YC startups looking for more firepower (in the form of a small angel round) at the end of the summer. Added benefit: YC has already done a lot of the vetting for you.
