I think this debate overlooks one thing: Silicon Valley isn’t just a place, it’s a mindset. Even if some offices move abroad, the Valley will still attract the best because of its history, brand, and culture of risk-taking. But we have to admit, the world has changed. Ten years ago, if you wanted to build the next big startup, the Valley was the only real choice. Today, remote collaboration tools, global VCs, and startup-friendly regulations abroad mean you don’t have to move to California. If the U.S. makes it too expensive, startups won’t necessarily abandon Silicon Valley—they’ll just adopt a multi-base strategy, keeping one foot in the Valley and the other in cheaper, talent-rich countries.
