Being based in Australia, I've often felt as though I'm at a massive disadvantage by not being in the centre of a startup hotspot. It feels as though being so far away from "all the action" means I'm less likely to succeed with the things I build, but despite this I've never been deterred from continuing down the track I'm heading on. I don't know if banding together as a coalition would be much help (happy to be proven wrong), but I do think the author makes a valid point that we—as the other 99% of startups—need do a better job of focusing on being a successful business (especially on a local scale) first before we worry about moving to SF/NYC, TechCrunch headlines, and massive exits.
