Introducing Initialized Capital

so a quick follow up: how many startups of the last round were not located in SF? Sometimes as a non US citizen it seems like the whole startup world is all centered in SF...

I'd say 2/3rds are in the SF Bay Area.

SF/SV is still the most concentrated place for startups, so when you want to grow fast it's still probably the most concentrated place for talent and capital. You can certainly start a company anywhere (and people are, and that's great!), but when you want to grow fast many people still move here, now increasingly at the Series A.

I love the bay area. Worked at startups there off and on for over twenty years. But it's precisely because its the center of the universe that when I start my next company, I'm going to do it somewhere else. I do love it there though.
