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.
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.

Are there startups around, say, San Mateo?
