A short YouTube clip from Precursor Ventures (uploaded Feb 20, 2025) recounts bringing founders from outside the Bay Area to work from their office and meet local founders. The visit reveals differences in work pace and practices — visiting founders often return realizing they should adopt faster, Bay-Area-like ways of working.

We've had some founders not in the Bay Area, and I'm like, this person doesn't have a good speed meter. And I've brought those folks out to the Bay Area and had them work out of our office and meet founders here, and invariably they come back and go, oh, that's what I'm supposed to be doing. Oh, we had no idea people were doing that, that they were working in that way, they were working that quickly.
