Are there any VCs there? Any cofounders? Other startups? Would it be too much of a PITA to fly to the Valley all the time for living in San Diego to be worth it?
Will it energize you or distract you? 95% of your time will be heads down hacking no matter where you live.
When I lived in Southern California, it energized me. Wrote some of my best code with the windows open and the ocean breeze blowing through. Will it be the same for you?
But as someone pointed out, I would be more concern about the beautiful beaches and weather. Lots of distraction certainly :)
most of the startup stuff is biotech.
san diego really sucks if you don't have a car. most of the startup stuff is biotech.
I have heard there's a fair VC/Entrepreneurial presence in San Diego, for instance, Slacker.com is based there. But as someone pointed out, I would be more concern about the beautiful beaches and weather. Lots of distraction certainly :)
There is a very large biotech scene in San Diego, so I imagine there will plenty of VC's. Not sure about the computer tech scene, though.
Just think about coding looking unto the beach with a cup of tea. Living the dream.
