Sand Hill Road
Sand Hill Road is a road in
Menlo Park, California, notable for the concentration of
venture capital companies there. Its significance in that area of business in the
United States may be compared to that of
Wall Street in the
stock market. The location is advantageous in part for its easy access to
Stanford University and
Silicon Valley. For several years during the
Dotcom boom of the late
1990s, commercial real-estate on Sand Hill Road was more expensive than anywhere else in the
US.
