I attended YCNYC last night. I didn't get the impression that PG was slamming NYC (aside from the weather, which I sure agreed with this week). A lot of what he said about NYC was positive, a few things were negative, many were over generalizations but that is just how it goes when you make a sweeping, predictive, speech.
But I'm really disappointed this is the storyline coming out of YCNYC. I took a lot of notes last night during the Q&A and the founder's talks. I took basically none during PG's talk. There were great presentations from the founders of AirBnB, Weebly, WePay, and others that I really inspired me and taught me things. Talking to lots of other people was very interesting.
I spent 6 hours in my car and 2 hours on trains yesterday to get to and from the event, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I did not go through that trouble to hear about Silicon Vally vs Boston vs NYC, and that's not what I got out of last night. Yet on the internet that's all I'm reading about. It really was a tiny portion of the night.
