There is no good place to start a startup

This article critically examines the debate around the best location to start a tech startup, specifically responding to arguments for the Bay Area. It acknowledges the region's powerful agglomeration benefits (talent, investors, networks) but argues these advantages follow a power law distribution, meaning only a tiny fraction of local startups actually capture them. The author concludes that for founders without exceptional advantages, there is no universally 'good' place to start, and challenges will be significant regardless of location.
