I think this is a great move. It will serve other industries which don't get the same press and accolades as SV. Also, it's just nice to see some geographical diversification in these efforts. And, plus, much better pries for housing and office space
And away from the toxic social atmosphere in California too, which seems to be the source of a lot of the workplace misogyny complaints and even never-ending dating scene of doom that I hear about.
Congratulations on the move. I've been working in tech for a decade in Atlanta and have always been impressed with the diversity here.
