New York City
- gamechangr 15y agoI have friends in NY that say they can never get enough talent to move there (Paul Graham actually says that as well)....if anyone lives there confirm??? PG http://paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html http://paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html "Nerds are a distinct subset of the creative class, with different tastes from the rest. You can see this most clearly in New York, which attracts a lot of creative people, but few nerds. [5]
- achompas 15y agoSeriously, it isn't close. Startup volume here is insane, there's a large number of big-scale successes (Tumblr, Etsy, Foursquare, Kickstarter), a mature group of companies (Google, AOL, Facebook by the end of the year), and a robust small startup community focused in Union Square and Dumbo. Besides, I'd take Boston or Chicago before those cities.
