- iag 14y agoBowei here. I just want to say major thanks to 500 Startups, StartupWeekend, StartupDigest, Dave McClure and Brad Feld for making this all happen!

- jkaljundi 14y agoVery strange and arbitrary selection of cities for Europe, it seems. How were the 29 selected? What often happens for these kind of lists is people assume those reviewed are somehow better than those left out. Hope this will clarified once the report gets published, that many top location were just left out.
- iag 14y agoI polled my 500Startups network to see which countries they were interested in and had contacts in, then narrowed down the list to a manageable size. Which cities did you think I missed?
- jkaljundi 14y agoWrote a long reply, which HN ate :S So I'll just say quickly: 1. Tallinn and #estonianmafia (3 500Startups investments, 6 Seedcamp investments) 2. Helsinki and the world's leading gaming scene. Also: if you want to make the review serious, decide on the cities based on statistics. As Seedcamp for Europe, which are their top cities for their investment winners. Don't shoot from the hip.
