Ask HN: How to get into west coast startup scene while on the east coast?

Good morning everyone! I'm currently the VP of Engineering for a small company (profitable , post startup?) on the east coast. I was the first engineering hire in product development. It's been a about 3 years, and we may have our exit soon!

Any advice on how to get hooked up with 'the next big thing' in a similar role? It can be east coast, west coast, whatever. I knew my founder from a previous job, that's what led to this one. I want to be more intentional in getting this role again.

Thanks!
