I spent 36 hours there and it was very intense. I want to record what I did and what I felt. This will be my longest blog post ever, but I want to keep it as one post. Because it was one continuous experience for me.</p> <h2 id="why-did-i-go">Why did I go</h2> <p>As the readers of this blog might know, I have been on an <a href="https://debamitro.github.io/blog/year-one-of-my-entrepreneurial-journey/">entreprenuerial journey</a> for the last two years. I have been hearing from everyone on a similar journey that San Francisco is the Mecca of tech startups. And the best place to raise money. I thought I should go and check it out first hand whether it was hype or reality. The short duration was due to my personal constraints - otherwise it makes no sense to show up in SF for 36 hours only.</p>
