What are the advantages of stationing your startup in New York City opposed to Silicon Valley / SF?

• The world’s fastest growing tech startup ecosystem
• A much more tightly knit startup community, compared to the larger but more diffuse West Coast community
• Access to many, many more world market centers (advertising, finance, fashion, media, food, etc.)
• A city that from the Mayor on down is devoted to helping the tech startup community expand exponentially
• The world’s largest Tech Meetup (not to mention Meetup.com itself)
• Significantly easier access to European and South American startup centers
• Many more world-class universities
• Believe it or not, more organized angel groups (although not individual angels)
• Seasons

and most importantly…

The uniquely available joy and delight of living in the most amazing, energetic, global epicenter in the world. A 24-hour melting pot of culture, theater, music, night life, sports, business, leisure activities and more, all within walking distance (or just a couple of stops away on the subway.) What’s not to love??
