Combining the UK excellence in entertainment, communications and financial markets with Valley backing could be a powerful combo. I'm in SF during January and hope that you're available to meet.

I think it's fantastic you're doing this. I'm out in SF soon for the Games Developer's Conference (w/c Feb 18th) so would love to meet up for a coffee. Great idea Ben.

On the other hand, if UK start up scene won't be supportive enough entrepreneurs will migrate to SV... so either way your project seems to have legs! And I'd really like to have a chat with you some time down the line.

We would definitely be interested in chatting with you. We're currently virtualised in London and its environs. In fact, Paul Graham gave a great talk at Imperial College a couple of weeks back and substantiated his assertion about SV's benefits most convincingly.

As I noted in my post, there's only me (so far). Let's see where this goes first and see what we can grow it into. This is a valid point @Charl.
