I watched this video a couple of days ago (via PSFK's Twitter feed), and loved the emphases brought to light by the interviews.

- Entrepreneurs liked the density of the city -- the ability to encounter colleagues by chance, run into folks, rub shoulders;
- Some talked about liking the "small" aspects of San Francisco: that there isn't *so* much going on to distract one's attention from the tasks (work) at hand

I thought that latter point was kind of intriguing, something to remember when someone once again goes off on how it's such a bad thing that *this* isn't as happening a place as NYC or <snort> Toronto.

  • we started wondering what it is exactly that attracts entrepreneurs to San Francisco in the first place. Essentially, we wanted to know how, or why, San Francisco fuels innovation and entrepeneurialism?
