So:&lt;p&gt;Your story is wonderfully illustrative, in-depth, and inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to share it.&lt;p&gt;For what it&amp;#x27;s worth, I really like your writing style. I hope to see much more of it!</text></comment>

I was debating if I should move to Seattle or Bay area to pursue my &amp;#x27;science project&amp;#x27; or not. My current job is going to give me 7 weeks of severance starting in late April and I think it will be enough to at least make the leap and cross my fingers. What I am working on will change the course of history if I even get close to succeeding.&lt;p&gt;I was wondering if YC or TechStars would be more ideal for me to start, I do not want to go to a major investment firm that will see $$$ instead of the value my invention has for science and human progress. I know it is possible to build a company and advance science but I have to be VERY careful about who is involved at the early stages. I think the only place for something as &amp;#x27;crazy&amp;#x27; as my project and as &amp;#x27;crazy&amp;#x27; as myself to be taken seriously is SF.</text></comment>
