Brains Behind the Game
Although many years have passed since the inception of the digital revolution, the brains behind the most integral innovations that have made such a revolution possible still migrate towards Silicon Valley. It is no surprise when one takes into consideration the over $3.1 trillion that have been invested in the area only on venture capital since 2000.
If one has a revolutionary idea but is seeking funding for the first time, then there is no better place in the country to be. In 2010 alone, venture capital doled out $22 billion into over 2,700 companies. Of the thousands of companies seeking funding, just over 1,000 of them were receiving funding for the first time in their existence. The most notable startups in the modern age received their start in this general area, adding to the enthusiasm and the idea that Silicon Valley is a constant gold mine for technological innovation.
