Where are you from? Do you think it makes (or has made) a difference?

Where are you from? Do you think it makes (or has made) a difference? 1 point by jaypreneur 3 minutes ago | discuss | edit | delete So, where is everyone from? And do you believe it will make (or has made) a difference in terms of your success?

And if you think it's hindering you, have you considered moving (or already moved)?

Anyway, I'm from NY. I believe it will only be a help to be here. I think NY has great, smart people and I just went to the NY Tech Meetup two nights ago and I never realized NY had such a large startup community. Hopefully I can slowly become a part of it too (feel free to contact me if you're from the NYC area, jfortes16 at gmail)

I'm from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And i'm running a music startup called musicx.fm from down here. Do i think it has an impact, definatly. But i'm very much into the whole "if you're good enough mentality you don't need shit" , even though sometimes it might seems like being in SV would help. But you know how the saying goes. Nuclear winter or not, on we go.
