Question: Are you a startup founder? Have you had trouble finding talent in NYC? Have you thought that maybe the problem was not NYC but you?

There are people looking for work specifically in the startup space in NYC, I was one of them about 3 years ago. When I found companies it was immediately clear which founders were good to work for and which were not. Just becuase you have a "startup" doesn't mean you are a going to attract talent. It has to be a good startup. The bar of what is an attractive startup for employees might be lower in Silicon Valley because so many people are there for "startup culture" above all else. In NYC there are other options that are good and a startup isn't better simply becuase it is a startup, it has to be better on its own merits.
