       | 
       | VCs new they had to make investments in Asia and South America as
       | they saw more successes come out of those regions.
       | 
       | Technology is global, so VCs can't afford not to be.
       | 
       | However, I believe most of these VCs still expect companies to be
       | set-up as Delaware Corps. Anybody have any insight on that?
