Are certain regions more optimal for Entrepreneurship?
I’ve been wondering if certain cities or regions are more optimal for entrepreneurship. For example, it sounded like the Bay Area had a lot of tech startup founders for the past few decades, meanwhile places like NYC may have had noticeably fewer.
I am wondering if any regions now are more optimal for aspiring entrepreneurs. I was thinking Southern Florida potentially, but would be open learning more (both in the US and internationally)
“New York is the finance and media capital of the world. But it's so much more than that. Boasting more than 9,000 tech businesses, over 25,000 tech-enabled startups, and 100+ incubators and accelerators, NYC is a $147 billion startup ecosystem that's increasingly able to go toe-to-toe with Silicon Valley.”

Answering this question is so dependent on the industry and business model
Heard Bali got lots of startup types and expats from around the world
I have visited Bali for surfing and my friend there who also surfs built a business there. He started an energy efficient lightbulb distribution business for the city of Bali. He is doing pretty well.
Wow - that’s great, although kind of random lol
Did he manufacture lightbulbs and sell, or did he buy them wholesale and sell retail?
What sort of business? Some are location agnostic, some benefit from the social networks in place somewhere like NYC/SF, others require the right climate/lots of land/growing populations.
What types of businesses are location agnostic?
Austin / Nashville come to mind.
Lol SF and NY are cesspools
I’ve seen a lot of startups in the miami dade area, everyone appears to be about the hustle culture life out there
NY has lots of entrepreneur. But it does not appear to be as entrepreneur friendly as other state
If you’re doing tech, may as well go to the Bay Area where all the best coders and vcs are
