@MarkEvans article: TORONTO’S STARTUP ECOSYSTEM RANKS FOURTH GLOBALLY

Mark Evans sums up the world’s four global startup hubs like this in his recent article. 

“Silicon Valley: Biggest throughput. Strong early stage funding ecosystem. More mentors. Most Ambitious. High Risk.

New York City: Diverse. Niche Focus. Marketplace and Social Network focus. High risk.

London: Well educated. Bet big on perceived proven winners. Project Management / E-Commerce Focus. Low Risk.

Toronto: Well educated. Enthusiastic. Collaborative. Low Risk. Scarce capital.”
