Tech scene in Boston is really huge. It’s a bit less “Facebook for cats” than Silicon Valley and tends to be more stuff that needs the big brains from MIT and the like. Moderna is a great example.

Pharma/biotech is particularly big but look at a magazine like Tech Review and there's a lot of diversity.

In addition to the weather (which really isn't that bad), part of it is I think that a lot of people with SV companies tend to think of tech as "what SV companies do" which naturally leads to them seeing less "tech" in other places. (Though there are sizable outposts of quite a few West coast employers at this point in addition to the home-grown ones.

Tech actually in the city was almost non-existent for a long time. Hence the Route 128 computer companies. But that's shifted a fair bit again over the past 20 years.
