I am from South Africa and I am so happy to watch this video.. The struggle in our country we tend to blame the past too much for lack of our success, yes obviously "partly" systems were created to hinder the success of the people in this beautiful country. But, I believe if our young people can rise in their state of mind and begin to change things for themselves this country and the whole continent can be a better place to live in. I know it starts with me. Thank you Silicon Valley.

"Silicon Valley is a State of Mind" - Powerful motivating words there

[@jcor4996]

I wrote this and sent part of it to Victor at Kaufman. I saw your comment on KZbin here, so I'm sharing with you because you seem to be inspired by the same message and I'm hoping to connect with people like you. My message: Hey Victor!!! I heard you say something about Silicon Valley. being a" state of mind" and how can we recreate in other places. Like they say in poker, "Go BIG or go home" Do you agree with Peter Diamandis? (Abundance) I am an athlete and love things that are fast, so I guess I'm always wondering how to help "accelerate" abundance for everyone. I live in NY and saw you on some KZbin video about Silicon Valley. I guess I'm interested maybe in moving to Silicon Valley? and I think I'm interested to see how we (everyone) can build the fastest growing company ever? I don't know, it just sounded like something fun to do and the Bigger we think, the Faster we act, the More we can help, right? So, I guess I just thought it was a good idea to drop you a line and see what you think and whether you know anyone interested in helping. I just see business as a fun way to help people. It's just like a big game that we get to play together with friends and help others. So, let me know. I love things that go fast, Justin

[@JakeVoorhees]

Great perspective into what it's like to rock out with a Silicon Valley startup. Really appreciate the views and perspectives of people actually doing it! Thank you!

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

Victor Hwang was by far the most correct and motivating interview in this film. The beauty of the place itself and near perfect weather inspires those who come here to make their dreams a reality, but in reality, Silicon Valley is a state of mind more than a geographic place. The weather, nature/natural beauty, and location are just conducive to that. The natural environment and weather foster that "can do" spirit. This video didn't show the real Silicon Valley at all though (geographic place). In that valley, assuming there is no kind of major recession, 100,000+ jobs will be created in the next few years as Samsung, Apple, Google, and others expand.

[@jcor4996]

Yeah, I really liked what Victor said. I tried writing to him. Whoever posted this comment seems like you and I are like minded, so I'll share my thoughts with you too. I couldn't send this entire message to Victor due to character limitations on Kaufman web form, so this was the whole thing I wrote... Hey Victor!!! I heard you say something about Silicon Valley. being a" state of mind" and how can we recreate in other places. Like they say in poker, "Go BIG or go home" Do you agree with Peter Diamandis? (Abundance) I am an athlete and love things that are fast, so I guess I'm always wondering how to help "accelerate" abundance for everyone.

This video talks about San Francisco as if it were the center of Silicon Valley. In reality, most Silicon Valley companies are in Santa Clara County 50 miles south. It would be more appropriate talking about Palo Alto in the north all the way down to San Jose.

San Jose is the center of Silicon Valley, SF has no part of it, other than to ride our coattails apparently.....

Yeah. "Silicon Valley" is like a metro area. Sort of like "Chicagoland" or "The Tri-State area" of New York. Except Silicon Valley is more specifically classified as the northwest bay to the west, down the south bay. Where as "The Bay Area" is the entire area of the bay.

Only people who grew up, lived, or visited the Bay Area know that there's a bunch of homeless people everywhere and that this place is NOT as nice as they make it seem. Your glorified dream is false.

[@TrevorLaub]

And the sad part is the homeless person can make 2,000 a month and still be homeless

[@ej4555]

What you don't say is that, you don't find the average homeless in every corner of Silicon Valley. By average, i mean, smoking crack or asking money to go buy crack. You find guys with great minds and ideas but that were unable to succeed, so they sleep there hoping to get a chance.

These investors are some serious retards and the companies getting funded are bullshitting harder than people bullshit on their linkedn accounts. Everybody wants to be a king but very few will get to be kings. Most people just want to raise 5 million and get their 100k job for 5 years and run their feifdom. Its really going to be so funny when this startup bubble collapses and you see about 1 million software engineers that cant get jobs. It will be a good time to buy in SF and MTV. Another thing they dont tell you is that unless you graduated from stanford you cant get funding from investors. Its almost impossible to get any funding if you dont come from stanford.

It was tough. 3 months later I took courage and a job interview. I brought my last $1000. After many obstacles I have successfully implanted myself here again. I feel like I can teach other people how to do what I have done TWICE now. Regardless of obstacles. I don't even have a college degree! Silicon Valley is definitely a mindset.

Update. Yes I'm in sales, was working for Gusto a fintech startup. Unfortunately, with recent policies, price increases, etc I left with my wife and newborn across the country to Virginia Beach, VA. Haven't looked back. Making over 6 figures and my wife gets to stay at home with my son. SF is officially fir the rich, the bay area has no middle class anymore. Crime is up, and the poorer locals have been pushed out. Great place to visit, terrible place to live and raise a family unless you have dual income over 200k a year. That being said, my confidence to move came from my success and willingness to succeed in the bay. God bless 🙌 🙏

So my wife is a Data Architect and just got a job offer in Palo Alto for about $250k. I can likely find decent employment out there too. My question is, how weird and expensive is the place in reality? I have been to SF once for a few days and it was ok and the Napa Valley was nice. SF just seemed... strange, maybe? Surreal? I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but it gave me an uneasy feeling. Do you think you could maybe provide some input for me? Thanks.
