"The best place to start your particular business ultimately depends on the field you’re in, but clearly, it’s best to stick to the coasts, because that’s where the money is."
- um, no. I'm probably biased since my biggest failed effort was based out of SF and biggest success was based in a suburb of Oklahoma City (yes, really!). But, you can find smart people anywhere. There are some amazing companies being built here in Colorado and top-notch investors.
"Flyover country" also offers a lower cost of living and less competition for amazing engineers. Wait, what am I saying? By all means start your companies on the coasts. ;-)
