I rewatched The Social Network recently, and between the dramatic pauses and the brooding Andrew Garfield, one Justin Timberlake line really stuck out to me:

“Mark, you have to come to California.” (That’s paraphrased, but if memory serves, it’s basically what he said).

Oh, how times have changed–and I’m not talking about Facebook’s valuation.

Fifteen years ago, it may have been necessary for Zuckerberg to fly out to California to convince VCs to invest. But more often we here at Crunchbase News learn that entrepreneurs don’t need to move to the Bay Area for VC funding.
