Here are 3 guides to things to see in the area http://paulgraham.com/seesv.html http://scobleizer.com/2010/10/04/silicon-valley-places-that-... http://steveblank.com/2011/02/22/a-visitors-guide-to-silicon...

Can anyone elaborate on PG's comment at the end of the first linked article? I also skipped San Jose. San Jose calls itself the capital of Silicon Valley, but when people in the Valley use the phrase "the city," they mean San Francisco. San Jose is a dotted line on a map. He makes it sound like nothing happens there, but if so, why do they claim to be the capital of SV?

Geographically, San Jose is much closer to the "heart" of the valley -- Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Mountain View and the surrounding areas -- than San Francisco is.

It is also, going strictly by population, the larger of the two cities.

I'm accepted. But I don't have enough budget to go now. Damn!

my 2cts: just do what it takes to go! Few opportunities can change lives in a positive black swan way... Myself I plan on selling more of our stuff to pay for the trip from Europe. If I can help you with $50 or 100 let me know what you are good at that you could help our startup with. (email on HN profile)

Thanks a lot for your kind reply. I'm going to fly there anyway. I will just take some loan from my credit card. Will be very happy to get connected with you though.
