Outside of the Bay Area being #1, where do the rest of the primary market cities rank in terms of overall quantity/abundance of high-growth (pre later-stage VC or growth equity) tech companies (HQ location)?
Subjective ranking 2-5:
2. NYC
3. Boston
4. Chicago
5. (Maybe a southern market like Atlanta or Dallas?)
Would love to hear others' thoughts...

Would probably add Austin to this list, LA too.
I think Tampa is on the up-and-up too
Austin, Berlin, and Boston.
Does it depend on the type of tech? Like I know Chicago may have a bit of a medical device ecosystem. Maybe Austin has a renewable energy vibe
SF
NYC/Bos
(Big Gap)
Austin, Miami
Chicago
I see Miami/Austin as share gainers, SF as a share donor, and NYC/CHI seem to have their niches with relatively low growth. Once Miami/Austin build a local talent pool, I see them leading the space for decades to come.
