Silicon Valley vs. everywhere else
summary
Panel argues Silicon Valley still grows fastest and holds the deepest investor networks and senior exec talent, but other hubs are catching up: Paris keeps engineering teams locally, Los Angeles graduates 6,000 engineers a year from 100+ universities, and Detroit uses Motor City Match to deploy $500,000 in grant funding each quarter. Distributed teams work but slow early product development; founders report monthly travel, tighter communication systems, and some VCs still ask startups to relocate for seed rounds.
