Re:Hype and plunder: Domo a new low for self-indulgent IPOs by wpietri on Tuesday June 05, 2018 @07:40PM (#17243161)
In the sense of being consciously modeled on Silicon Valley, copying many of the practices, I think it's fair to call some other tech scenes offshoots. New York I'd call different in that it's very media- and finance-heavy and leans on existing business tradition more. But even in NYC I can think of some companies that strike me as much more SV in culture than the NY median. And Seattle I don't know well enough to say.

Broadly, though, there are a ton of places that are (or would very much like to be seen as) Silicon Valley offshoots. Wikipedia lists dozens: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_technology_centers

I think it's absurd to claim that every tech center is an offshoot of Silicon Valley. No one does this for other industries. Milan isn't considered an offshoot of Paris because it has a fashion industry. Chicago isn't considered an offshoot of New York because it has a financial industry. Similarly New York isn't considered an offshoot of London because it has a financial industry.

Only for tech do we do this.
