USA is the undisputed leader of startup ecosystems in the world.
Pro-talent, university excellence, vibrant community

“...new startup ecosystems developing in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. It can happen and it will happen. But it takes time. And you can’t fast forward because we are talking about experience which can’t be manufactured. You simply have to put in the time.”

anything to leapfrog and play catch-up.
Turn on, boot up, jack in.
