NYC's secret weapon: nobody's pretending. You build next to people in finance, media, fashion & health who'll tell you straight when it's not working. Love @Kalshi's Luana Lopes Lara on why they picked NY.

Luana Lopes Lara's point about why they chose to build Kalshi in New York instead of San Francisco deserves more attention. “One of the things I hated about San Francisco is whenever you go anywhere, every single person you talk to, their company is doing amazingly well. And I'm like, statistically this is impossible. There's no way everyone is in the top 10% of startups.” It makes me wonder what kinds of companies benefit from being in San Francisco, surrounded by other founders building ambitious things, and which might actually be better off in New York, with some distance from the expectations and constant comparisons of Silicon Valley.
