Edward Sanchez:

Hey Albert,
watched your talk yesterday which was very helpful.
I asked you if investors were location biased and you said "absolutely".
You also said that location is not that important.
But aren't there locations where you're more likely to find investors? And if that's the case, isn't location actually important?
I run a startup in London and we just started looking for VC but I always wonder if moving to the US could increase my chances of getting investment.
Could you tell me what your view on that is?
Thanks a lot!
Edward
