Scott Heiferman the founder and CEO of Meetup wrote a great piece a week ago on why he has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to running a tech company in NYC. My favorite line:

I love New York. And I’ve got a great company to grow. Silicon Valley Companies succeed because of who they are, how they are, why they are… not where they are. It’s just been a coincidence. The non-SV companies haven’t had the right who/how/why. A company that NEEDS to exist  — a company with a vital purpose to serve milions of people’s real needs — will attract the people to bring it to life — and it can exist anywhere.

I also love New York and could think of no other place in the world that is a better fit for a company like PlansForUs. Now back to hammering on Steve to fulfill our users needs.
