@konstantimb It is remarkable to see such a high concentration of startups within just one area of San Francisco. It clearly demonstrates the depth and strength of the ecosystem.
I am interested in building a stronger network and presence in San Francisco and across California. What would you recommend as the most effective approach for a Seattle-based startup to develop meaningful relationships with investors, founders, industry leaders, and strategic partners in the region?
I will be attending TechCrunch Disrupt in October, but I would appreciate your perspective on what else I should be doing before, during, and after the event to establish a more consistent presence in the California startup ecosystem.

the density is real but the map is also a survivor bias engine. every YC company that went remote-first or moved out gets erased from the picture even if they're still the ones actually shipping.
curious if you plan to add a "headquartered vs distributed" toggle. would show which categories are actually SF-concentrated (fintech, hard-tech) vs which just happened to originate there but scattered after (dev tools, ai infra).
