Boston seems like the Second City of startups. Great place to get started but not the big time. When the SFP started, I had no idea that Boston had much current startup activity. I mean, I knew a couple places that started there but not as many as, say, Seattle. But I think now it's a great place for the first stage of a startup's life. Lots of hackers and lots of financiers that can get you going. But the M&A, influential investors and press is just so extremely concentrated in the Bay Area. Don't get me wrong, I'm an LA guy and am fond of Cambridge, so I'm not a homer here. But that's the reality, especially for companies as determined to make it as the YC companies presumably are.
