As a former New Yorker that spent 20 years there, all I can say is "spot on". Don't get trapped in the specifics of his numbers. He did a fair job characterizing the main markets, the types of people in the startup scene, the personalities and degrees that are valued by the average business person in NY. Oh, and the girls (sadly).
- KonaB 17y agoHaving worked at a startup in London, I would claim that Zed's post applies to London, too. Life is too short to swim against the current. Whoever wants to start a company should go where like-minded people exist in large numbers, and neither NYC or London are such places. Starting a company is already hard, the least one could do is to be immersed in the right culture, where the right values are cherished.
