I found this fascinating quote today:
There is absolutely no reason why startups have to concentrate in one area. Silicon Valley has Stanford and UC Berkeley, two of the top universities in the U.S. if not the world, and it also has the biggest concentration of venture capitalists anywhere in the world. However, Boston has Harvard and MIT. New York has Columbia and NYU. Chicago has Northwestern, the University of Chicago and IIT. Pittsburgh has Carnegie Mellon and Pitt. Los Angeles has UCLA and USC.Len Feldman, The Feldman File, Mar 2010
