That you don't care highlights the difference between Silicon Valley and everywhere else. Here, even the so-called "hot" startups are no more than two or three hops away from the tech giants -- and that absolutely informs our collective thinking: we know how to build billion dollar tech companies because so many of us have worked for them.
Be wary of confirmation bias. It can be argued that SV alums can build billion-dollar tech companies because they receive the financial backing of those tech companies. That's not an intractable problem for a city with lots of money like NYC.
