> But it isn't true. For the rest of the world SV is still the place to go to, one way or another. We are using different meanings for the same phrase. SV is the best place to raise, IF YOU CAN AND ARE WILLING TO RAISE THERE. But no

Housing is super expensive, but even that is coming down. Transport is a bit expensive, bit it's fine. Everything else is pretty reasonable!

The article doesn't dispute that London is way behind SV. What it's saying is that for non-US funding, London dominates.

This doesn't seem true, I work in a UK tech company and it's an incredibly international team. My team has three Brits (including me), a Norwegian, a Swede, a Pole, and an American. The CEO is Irish, the CTO is German/America

I don't know Aakash Gupta so I can't say if he's lying or just didn't do his research, but I know the IPO figures he cited there are wrong, like very wrong, which puts everything else there in doubt. Not to mention locat

Eh, I know quite a few. LegalTech, hardware, obviously fintech, quite a bit of AI. But I work at a London startup so my social circle might be different to yours.

According to levels.fyi London is basically the best paying non-US city, I think maybe beaten by some Swiss cities.

No it isn't, London's IPOs in 2025 were mostly towards the end of the year, after that article was written. London ended up about 8th worldwide for issuances in 2025 - https://www.pwc.co.uk/press-room/press-re

That is an annualised figure, which means they took the Q3 figure by itself and multiplied it by 4. US annualised growth in Q1 would've been -2%. Between Q1/2/3, US growth has been about 1.6%. Wait until the whole year figure

There have already been significant decreases in Canadian (and likely other countries) purchases of American goods, and travel to the US. The thing you say will never happen, already happened last year. Jim Beam (the bourbon distillery) s

We are talking about individuals here. People are absolutely capable of not drinking Coke because they want to avoid American products.

Because those places are close enough in profitability that it doesn't make a massive difference. Greenland is real hard to mine in, needs infrastructure from scratch, and nowhere near enough of a local population.

by dukeyukey 9mo ago
You can do both, but why would you? It's not like we've tapped out Australia. And until we have, why bother with Greenland if the same money invested in Australia, or Sweden, or Canada would yield more profit?

You won't be happier if you don't eat healthy, stay indoors al day, avoid talking to anyone, never exercise, never clean up, because those things are considered a chore. There are things people avoid doing that are still needed to

That said, the last two Anker power pack models I've bought were both recalled for sometimes exploding/melting down in use. Once I'll give them, but twice? In a row?

You're more thinking suburban, or super rural. I grew up in a rural Welsh town (~3000 people), and was is walking distance of basically everyone we knew. I walked to school, to the pool, to the shops, my friends, everything.
