NYC is actually seeing an uptick in companies abandoning the insanity of Silicon Valley and the West coast and moving to NYC and places east. And, what with NY state's recent incentives to start a company there, I would rather be based in NYC than SF Bay. IMO, NYC has a much better overall culture than SF and proximity. There is also the echo chamber of the SF tech area, which I abhor.
I have, over the years, toyed with -- and still do -- the notion of moving to Brooklyn or perhaps further out into Long Island. Love the place. Home of the best pizza outside of Naples to be sure.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoI've lived in NYC for years and am investigating a move to SF now. NYC has always been a pretty bad place for anything tech except financial services companies. The incentives and initiatives are always around everything except software. And most of the VCs I've spoke with here are more geared toward physical businesses, financial services companies, biotech, etc... not pure software plays.
