Is the explanation that Silicon Valley companies invest a lot more in / are better at publicity - best example being Mark Zuckerberg boy genius meme?
- replicatorblog 8y agoI think it has more to do with the fact that 3 of the 5 most important companies in tech are headquartered there have a combined $2.3T in market cap whereas Boston's biggest tech co's, TripAdvisor, Akamai, and Wayfair, have a combined market cap of ~$30B.
- mjfl 8y agothat would do it. So really Boston can't really compare with SV because of that factor of 100 difference.
- eropple 8y agoIf you care about those companies, sure. I'd cut my arm off before working at two of the three and the third would make me think about it pretty hard. Once you've ruled out the more gross elements of tech...Boston stacks up pretty well.
