This article is too meta and meandering. What is this new narrative? What is the old narrative that needs replacing?
That said, NYC has a number of "structural" issues which make it a less than ideal place to start a silicon valley style startup. These same issues can be an advantage for different sorts of startups. A change in narrative is not going to change these.
- zackattack 17y agoyoure missing the point. matt is pointing out that the paradigm of creating a business for the purpose of getting on a specific investor's radar is completely fucked. instead of pandering to avc/cdixon, people should create for their customers.
