Since I suspect this post may get a flame or two from some diehard New Yorkers, I’ll lay down this gauntlet in the face of regional jingoism I promise to wear one of those ridiculous ‘INY’ shirts you buy for $3 from the Nigerians in Times Square for an entire month if the total amount of New York-based startup funding, as reported in Crunchbase, exceeds that of Bay Area-based startups in any financial quarter during the next five years.
Mmmmmmm, that’s some tasty flamebait.
