Seems an odd choice if just for the taxes. I would think Nevada or Colorado or even Oregon (my home state) would be better alternatives tax-wise, and yet still retain the "Startup community scene" to some extent. I could see moving to New York if it were a finance or media company (sounds like it is a media company), so maybe that has a larger impact on location than tax alone.
