I can’t find much discussion about this on the net but I’ve been wondering about it for ages.
I was recently re-watching The Social Network and was thinking about if the idea of The Facebook would have worked if it had started elsewhere say in a Semi-University in Scotland. I know the reason it blew up so fast was that it was exclusive and what better place to start than in Harvard but would another competitor in the already crammed Social Network market have any chance for traction outside of the US.
Snapchat,Instagram,Amazon. To me, tech means America.
Sometimes it really feels like America is the only place to start companies especially tech but I know that not to be true but it just seems that way.
Some say that starting a business is like a hurricane and you just got to enter the eye of it and hope nothing strikes you but I was wondering if tech companies started in better locations such as Palo Alto,California as Facebook did gives you a certain edge.
I know these types of startups are online and you might argue that it doesn’t matter when your on the web but that’s looking at it from a developers point of me but from the entrepreneurial site you need a small targeted market to start on.
