Affirmation on why you need to jump on a plane

Ethan Anderson (co-founder of Red Beacon - winner of Tech Crunch 50) sent me this blog post the other day.

Roman Stanek from the Czech Republic talks about his 3 startups and how his connections in the Bay Area were crucial to each.

My strong belief is that living outside of the Bay Area makes it tuff to build a technology business without strong ties to the Bay. This affirms why you need to get on a plane and spend some time in the Silicon Valley to understand and be successful.
