If the success of Silicon Valley has nothing to do with California, the weather, or the venture capital, then what is it?

It's the density of the right people in the same place.
There's a concept in social science called homophily.
When people with shared values and shared ambition end up in the same physical space, trust forms faster, and the output of the group compounds in ways no individual could produce alone.
Semiconductor engineers clustered in the Santa Clara Valley in the 1950s and never stopped. Each new arrival made the next one more likely.
Most coworking spaces miss this completely.
Put a random mix of people in a room and you get polite small talk. Put a hundred climate founders in the same room, and you get something else entirely.
Shared mission is what turns proximity into compounding value.
