To those of you who've started a company inside the US but outside Silicon Valley, New York City, or DC, what drew you to your particular location? how well has your location worked out for you?
Those of you who _are_ in the valley/NYC/DC, would you consider starting up elsewhere if given the opportunity?

Portland, Maine has a killer scene. If you are early stage you have everything you need here and can easily branch out if you get big enough.

I work at Bellhops in Chattanooga, TN. We were able to raise seed locally, and Series A and B from Bay Area and NYC investors while sizably growing market share. It definitely depends on what industry you're trying to start a company in but it's worked out pretty well for us.

Is Seattle considered an unusual location for a startup?

IIRC Wufoo from YC (which got acquired) was headquartered in Florida and had a remote team.
