Zug Mahé Grand Caymen Surprisingly, (7894 votes) received 44X the amount of votes as (177 votes), which historically has been more of a glorified startup scene. Also I’m not sure why, but am impressed than is also hanging with in the top ten as cities whose startup interest drastically out paces their population. Redwood City Palo Alto Porto San Francisco rising all the way to #1 could be a product of HackerNoon’s HQ being based in Colorado, but Boulder is nowhere near a top ten city in terms of historical readership to HackerNoon. It certainly was an overall interest in the Boulder startup scene as opposed to a single startup or two driving the activity as first, second and third place were all within a close margin (567, 527 and 520 votes respectively). Boulder I’m looking into more! this data Will be . posting what I learn here on HackerNoon
