I believe NYC and other areas provide a much healthier environment for true "indie" productions (aka customer-centric development) I love NYC as a city, but New York VC-istan is awful. Just fucking taint-sniffingly hideous. Unimaginative, with even more MBA-culture. And the sorts of MBAs that end up in New York startups are catastrophically bad-- people who just weren't smart enough to stay in finance (and that doesn't take much). Go to "other areas" if you want an indie scene: places that are clearly on the rise like Austin, Durham, Boulder and Baltimore. Funding will be harder to get, though.
