'A mini-exodus': Tech companies are leaving Silicon Valley for cheaper cities

January 24, 2021
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has been fielding numerous inquiries from top executives in the tech world who reached out in recent weeks - from Tesla CEO Elon Musk to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. He has also reportedly met with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and the chairman of Palantir, Peter Thiel, among others.
What is he offering that Silicon Valley cannot? The mayor is trying to convince them that Miami promises a more business-friendly environment.
"There's no secret sauce other than my Twitter account," Suarez said while shaving and preparing for another day of messages from inquiring tech executives. "There is absolutely no doubt that a big part of the reason why they are moving is that they feel that there is an inhospitable environment for regulation and taxation."

On Tuesday, Miami will try to respond to these Silicon Valley businesses by naming its first chief technology officer. Suarez said the new CTO will "provide concierge services" like streamlining bureaucratic procedures for high-tech firms when they come to Miami.
"There is an attitude that has been expressed by some leaders that says, 'We don't want you and we don't need you,'" Suarez said, alluding to how business owners say they feel they are being treated in Silicon Valley. "It's the opposite of the 'How can I help?' attitude, 'How can I grow this ecosystem?'"
Departing cities
While Silicon Valley is by no means ceasing to be the center of the technology industry, there is an undeniable migration afoot for some of Silicon Valley's elite to cities like Miami: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian moved from San Francisco in 2017. A year later, Shervin Pishevar, a venture capitalist, bought a house in Miami Beach in 2018. In late 2020, Jonathan Oringer, who founded Shutterstock and became an investor, moved to Miami, as did other notable venture capitalists, including Keith Rabois and David Blumberg.

Moar Replika: Here's some leads, anon here requesting some digging
I would digg but need to step away. Here's some leads for y'all!
Replika's latest funding
On Nov. 30, 2017, Replika announced that it has raised $6.5 million in a Series A.2 investment led by Khosla Ventures, Sherpa Capital, Phil Libin, co-founder of Evernote, and Richard Socher, chief scientist at Salesforce. The latest round, which brings Replika's total funding to $11 million, will improve the technology, expand the user base and further develop the chatbot technology.
Were these the people who funded the startup or were involved in getting the money to fund Replika? If there's any Finance/VCAnons here, please chime in.
Sherpa Capital
Scott Stanford, was co-founder at Sherpa Capital has moved to ACME VC as its co-founder. Shervin Pishevar was the other co-founder, an Iranian American, who co-founded Hyperloop One. He was also appointed by Obama in 2015 to the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. → see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shervin_Pishevar
ACME VC
Stanford co-founded ACME with Hany Nada, who has past relationships with China. Nada's previous VC, GGV Capital, had teams in China too. Oh and Stanford invested in Palantir, FB, LinkedIn, and moar.
Kek, everything always either leads back to China, the Vatican, the DS, or pseudo Israel!

Still digging..
Shervin Pishevar was born in Tehran, Iran, the son of Abraham Pishevar, a television and radio executive, and Eshrat (Kordary) Pishevar. Abraham Pishevar moved to the United States after he was placed on Ayatollah Khomeini's execution list for broadcasting instructions on leaving Iran for foreign nationals. He became a cab driver in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he was joined by his family 18 months later. While driving the cab, Abraham Pishevar, who already held a Master's degree, studied for and received a Ph.D. in Mass Communication at Howard University.
So far his life and family's arrival here in US sounds a lot like Sergey Brin..
Both families ended up in Maryland, both went to maryland schools. Sergey and Shervin are silicon valley entrepreneurs.
