I'm not trying to get Ottawa, Canada on the map but we do have a solid tech scene - Shopify also started in town before blowing up!

Obviously Silicon Valley is first, but Boston & NY are right behind.

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Surprised I didn't see this on the list. It's an extremely desired place to start a business right now. Lot of local and state government support. Tons of VC dollars going to Columbus based companies.

Silicon Valley - where no one can afford to live? Not really the best in my book.

Also you put New York up there as if that is any more affordable.

I'm not sure who you are referring to but the housing market here is red hot, so it seems to me like a lot of people can afford to live here. Just not you.

London! Apparently also, Solihull, a small town just outside of Birmingham is in the top end of the world list for start-ups due to Gym Shark which is mad.

I would never live in SF or Austin. The tech start up scene in Austin made the city go to hell.
