Being the guy who spent 4 years in Wyoming doing a startup before moving to Chicago last year, I'd say yes.
Not so much about the location, as much as it's about the support system you have in place and accessibility of people who you can have around to help you at the different phases of what you're doing that's critical.
- falsestprophet 18y agoWhat support system have you found in Chicago?
- omnivore 18y agoNil, really. It's just related to my "day" job really and using that + the web as a surrogate. It's much too big a place and too decentralize to really work for me like I think it would for me on the east coast (Where I'm from) But it's just stuff that I discovered here that if someone had told me YEARS ago in Wyoming, would've helped us be a lot more successful a lot sooner. But it's stuff that no one knew to tell me, because there's no one on the ground who has the experience to be able to say anything. And yeah that place is an anomaly but still. Sometimes just being connected to a larger place can raise your profile and make what you do 'seem' more legit. It's strange.
