One reason Silicon Valley has thrived in California is because of the lack of non competes. Someone with an idea can walk right over to a VC firm and get funding right away without having to wait. Texas isn’t that permissive and Florida just adopted the most stringent non compete that I know of.

Even other western states aren't as lax, I know folks who moved from Washington to California to avoid non-competes.
