Should I move my startup to the Bay Area?

Planning to launch first of the year. Have read a lot of press this year about companies moving out of the bay area to other states. Is it still a better advantage to move out-of-state startups to SV?

If people are moving OUT, that should tell you something.

Since when do founders ever just follow the masses? I'm considering the same thing. Would love to hear responses.

It's an advantage to be in the Bay Area, Boston, NY, Austin, Boulder, Portland, or Seattle....anywhere that will have lots of talent, startups, investors, and mentors.

You should move to wherever your target audience is. SF wouldn't be an ideal startup location if your startup has something to do with corn or other crops. You get what I'm saying?
