问题 A general partner at Mountain View-based GV(formerly Google Ventures),Faris makes a point of creating ample time to explore other entrepreneurial hotbeds.
    “I’m a fan of emerging ecosystems that are not in the Valley—other areas where the talent pools are unbelievable,”he tells Business Insider.“Where it just feels like you can be a lot more thoughtful recruiting.where there’s no frenzy.I like going and looking for entrepreneurs in those pockets.”
    “It’s a breath of fresh air to be able to poke your head in and see what kind of innovation these areas have.”he says.“Each ecosystem thinks in different ways.They have expertise in certain domains that others aren’t as strong in.It’s so fascinating to learn from.”
    This principle means he’s racked up his frequent flyer miles.“The best way to find these conpanics is actually to go there.It takes work and the willingness to fly over on a regular basis to discover,learn the ecosystem,and make the connections.Some startups do come to Boston or Silicon Valley to look for investors,but I think the right way to do it is just to build connections by going there personally.”
  Google cofounder Sergey Brin actually made a similar statement recently,advising wannabe entrepreneurs to start their companies outside of Silicon Valley rather than in it.“During the boom cycles,the expectations around the costs—real estate,salaries—the expectations people and employees have … it can be hard to make a scrappy initial business that’s self—sustaining,”he said.“Whereas in other parts of the world you might have an easier time for that.”
    Although Brin did say that Silicon Valley is better for raising more capital,Faris proves that it doesn’t have to be a necessity.
    请回答下列问题。
What’s the article mainly about?

选项 A、Methods to raise more capital not in Silicon Valley.
B、People’s willingness to fund startups outside Silicon Valley.
C、Fans of emerging ecosystems.
D、The best way for investors to find promising companies.

答案D

解析 主旨题。本文在开头就说了Fails想花足够的时间在其他创业聚集区,并在后面指出硅谷之外的创业聚集区的种种优点,强调投资者不要等着创业公司来硅谷找他们,而是投资者自己去硅谷以外的地方看看。并称到硅谷以外的地方考查可以呼吸到新鲜的空气,有很多值得学习的地方。Sergey Brin,谷歌的联合创始人,建议创业者到硅谷以外的地方创业,故本文大意主要讲了投资者寻找有前途的创业公司的最好方式。
