This sounds like it might be a good fit to Boston Area

Silicon Valley for all its hype and press is really a few successful companies (many of which are now mature and global in their extent) surrounded by and many many many more that are just legends in their own mind

More specifically:– you have a choice of venue based on your mission:
1) you want to have a flashy well-hyped consumer product driven (particularly soft-core) company — then go west to the valley of the fluff

2) you want tap top technical talent and build a low-key, more tech / less marketing driven company that is focused on products for business, government, medical, military — then New England in general and Greater Boston in particular should be your venue — of course it helps if you like Winter as well!
