We can still move fast and break things out here in Fly Over Country
But can you find an investor there that will fund you to spend 2 years breaking stuff with 50 engineers on staff and no revenue?
Some startups are much harder to launch outside of Silicon Valley where an investors are willing to make speculative investments on expensive ideas that may never pan out and where the investor can keep a close eye on his/her investment.
- EADGBE 9y agoThere are startups here; I've worked at one :). It was cool at first, but annoying secondly as the product became an ever-moving target designed to fit an assumed goal the current pitch deck was tossed to. I liked the swivel chairs, though. Honestly there's probably more [startups] here, but I haven't looked since my second kid. As hinted in previous comments, it's really geared towards family here. If I didn't have one, I'd probably be elsewhere. Though - to be honest - I'd also probably not be in development, either.
- Johnny555 9y agoI'm not debating that there are startups there, there are startups everywhere. But I'm questioning whether there are many VC's outside of Silicon Valley that are willing to pump $10M+ to fund a startup for a few years when both product and revenue are years away.
