Comment on Ask HN: What is necessary for a startup ecosystem to thrive?

Comments

A successful startup maybe is a great way to foster a startup culture in the surrounding environment.

Three examples:

1. Skype excited people in Estonia towards startup culture.

2. Warby Parker inspired a lot of fellow graduates from Wharton ( I think ) to follow similar pursuit.

3. In many ways Flipkart created a lot of buzz towards startup culture in India. Similarly, Zoho had a lot of hand in making Chennai, "the SaaS capital" of India.

A successful startup compounds the number of startups around the location. Many early employees start their companies after successful exits.

My 2 cents.
