it's nice to be reminded that there's a world outside SV/London where people can actually get started (and funded).

It's also nice to bear in mind that there's a world outside SV/NYC/London where people can get started and succeed without playing the "getting funded" game at all.

Shocking, I know.

I should have said "(and funded, if required)".

One of the (many) reasons people cite SV/NYC/London as a place to move to is easier access to capital.
