We are working on something similar in Australia - http://www.startup-australia.org/thevalley . I am moving to SV early next year. I'll try to add to the SVstartup wiki based on few bits of information I have gathered.

As i am reading into this whole "raising money" topic recently, this is what i came across in Venture Hacks. My understanding is, shop around, but, don't say it as "shop around". Use other languages or excuses. http://venturehacks.com/arti
