'Silicon Valley' has come to mean the Bay Area, not just down the Peninsula.

Silicon Valley is a mindset, not a location.

I've spent a good part of my life in Silicon Valley, California, and I really like that place.

In 2014, Utah cities Salt Lake City and Provo both surpassed Silicon Valley in per-deal venture capital averages. From large, multi-campus companies to promising start-ups, Silicon Slopes offers a promising climate for businesses. The entire tech industry has its eyes on Utah.

I grew up near the sea in British Columbia and San Francisco, and lived in Malibu and Fiji for years. I get uncomfortable being too far inland.

I grew up in Dallas, and my dad works for IBM, so I grew up in the environment of Silicon Prairie.

What I like about South Florida is there's a good quality of life here; the cost of living is much lower than Silicon Valley.

I would still rather be in Silicon Alley. I like the West Coast also, but it's sort of fragmented. You have companies in downtown San Francisco, companies in Mountain View, and people are driving between them all. It's kind of nice in New York to just jump in a cab and reach another company so easily.

I got lucky because my dad moved us to Silicon Valley before it really was known worldwide as an important tech hub.

There is a huge amount of wealth that's generated here in Silicon Valley.
