With Europe, at least on the enterprise and VC/IB side, you still have to deal with people that will only do business with their official business friends and so lose out on deals because of their own inability to get out of their comfort zone. Sure it's smart to have a long relationship with financiers, but being too hard to get a meeting with is stupid.
With SV, a similar thing is happening. It's basically like going to an event and only talking to your friends... and not meeting new people. This translates into missing opportunities. The other signal is that people in the valley aren't non-tourist living abroad enough to understand elsewhere. That's a fail-at-life in so many ways.
