If you look at a list of US cities sorted by population, the number of successful startups per capita varies by orders of magnitude.
Silicon Valley has a larger concentration of startups per capita, as people from around the country go there to try a startup. As such, I'm sure it also has a higher number of failed startups per capita. Instead of looking at absolute numbers, the chance that a given startup will succeed is the key metric.
