in a nutshell, the takeaways are:

  • partners: “Many new start-ups benefit from proximity to the media, advertising and fashion industries, New York’s strengths.”
  • financing: “The number of venture capital deals in the city has risen 32 percent since 2007, while the figures for other areas, including the Valley, have dropped.”

  • it’s a hipsterville: “Those at start-ups in New York repeatedly mention the intimacy of the relatively small but tight-knit industry here — in fact, they may be the only people who say they moved to New York because they liked its small-town vibe.”
  • keeps you humble: “In New York, no one’s ever heard of Quora,” “In New York, it keeps you humble that you walk out and there’s the CNN building.”
  • it’s rational: “I don’t like New York,” he said. “I just think it’s the best place for my business.”
