West coast vs east coast investor attitude towards digital health and AI start-up

I am a neurologist and co-founder of a start-up company automating the detection of stroke in the home. We have been fundraising for the last few months and have had the experience of west coast investors telling us to ask for way more and east coast investors suggesting we ask for less. Many west coast investors seem excited by the AI component while many east coast investors see this aspect as a technical risk/a negative. Is this consistent with other people's experience and where on the east coast is the best place to try to fund-raise if you happen to be a start-up in the digital health space (unfortunately we are located in Virginia)? Thanks.
