My plan is to program some big stuff myself, so as to learn about design; read the code of some open source software, to learn how others design; and program something from scratch with someone else and submit patches to an OS software, to learn how to work with other hackers. I hope that teaches me what I need.
(1) Don't do a startup that requires raising funds.
(2) You probably can't raise funds in SV either.
While there are many things that are easier to build in SV, there are things that are easier to build elsewhere.
More to the point, people who build things in SV could almost certainly build things other places, they'd just build different things. If you can't build anything where you are, is it really reasonable to think that you could build something in SV?

There's just no way to rise funds here :(
