Running away from the Valley: startups are trying to rise elsewhere in Silicon Valley, venture-IT information
Now, high-tech venture all over in the United States, from Denver to Washington, DC, Austin, Texas, and then to Chattanooga, Tennessee, entrepreneurs are looking for superior compared to Silicon Valley venture, not only a better quality of life and lower operating costs.
According to the Wall Street Journal, former United States online service (AOL) CEO Steve case and Revolution LLC founder (Steve Case) says this is a true "outer rise". However, as in other parts of Silicon Valley startups in the fast-growing and even faster, but it undermines the development of the whole industry, from various aspects such as transport, accommodation, retail and media. To this end, the Silicon Valley is to integrate fragmented industry mergers, winners by a bigger market, more money has become more aggressive and competitive company, Silicon Valley, the business climate has become the most important part.
Dow Jones venture capital data show that in 1995, 30% of venture capital investments in the United States Silicon Valley companies, by 2015, the figure is close to 50%.
Venture capital venture capital is highly cyclical. After it reached US $ 84 billion in 2000, and in 2003 fell to $ 18 billion in 2015, after soaring to $ 68 billion. But the only change is that Silicon Valley VCs share has been growing at an average annual growth rate of about 1%. If this trend continues, another generation or so of time, Silicon Valley may be the only one anybody can create a business area.
And this trend has a lot of factors. First advantage at close range, create a better Internet, talent and investment in more liquid markets, making it easier to find the best people, and vice versa. In addition, because the company maintains a long time, great later financing rounds are changing the nature of venture capital, a lot of money from public markets now are slowly entering the market, but most of the biggest private high-tech companies located in Silicon Valley, which leads to public funding was focused feedback back to the area.
Even when companies started in Silicon Valley venture outside, they are often required to take advantage of Silicon Valley's financing environment and talent pool. Then, as the company's growth, Silicon Valley is the most likely area to find a suitable management personnel.
Notable is that this situation with the first industrial revolution is just the opposite. At that time machine and are difficult to move, but the spread of ideas is free, which spread from the industrial revolution at the epicenter of the North of England, until recently China and Africa. But now, people and capital are mobile, high under the influence of the Silicon Valley regional housing market, liquidity will become more prominent.
Investments for start-ups, realisation in the current Internet age is the result of focused, rather than relying on a decentralized technology to the next industrial revolution. But the United States second-tier city's revival is not a good sign, because once a manufacturing center to form, will soon be digested by globalization.
But history does not determine the future. Binary Capital company, based in San Francisco, co-founder and managing partner of Ao Nang (Jonathan Teo), says that his company is about to launch a second wave of US $ 175 million of venture capital funds, and he prepared in areas remote from the usual high-tech Center and were undervalued business.
He said his investment company 90% in the Silicon Valley area. In his view, those complex, fragmented and unregulated industries such as health care, education and food services should be geared to the Silicon Valley start-up, these relatively low technology requirements of the industry.
No one knows, seemingly unstoppable flow of venture capital trends in Silicon Valley will turn to, other cities will benefit from job creation from startup. But like Ao Nang is using their money, expertise, change that investors believe that Silicon Valley startups need greater prosperity.
逃离硅谷：创业公司正尝试崛起在别处 - 硅谷,创业 - IT资讯
当下，高科技创业区在全美遍地开花，从丹佛到华盛顿特区、奥斯丁、德克萨斯，再到田纳西州查塔努加，企业家们正在寻找相比硅谷更优越的创业地，不仅有更好的生活质量，而且运营成本也更低。
据《华尔街日报》报道，前美国在线服务公司（AOL）CEO和革命有限责任公司创始人史蒂夫·凯斯（Steve Case）称这是一种真实存在的“外部崛起”现象。然而，和其它地区一样，硅谷的初创公司也在快速发展，甚至更快，但这破坏了整个行业的发展，从运输到住宿、零售和媒体等各个方面。为此，硅谷正在把分散的产业进行兼并整合，赢家通过占有更大市场、更多资金成为了更具侵略性和竞争性的公司，这种商业氛围已成为硅谷最重要的部分。
道琼斯风险资本数据显示，1995年30%的风险资本投资在美国硅谷地区的公司，到2015时，这个数字已经接近50%。
创业投资的风险投资具有高度周期性。它在2000年达到840亿美元后，于2003下跌至180亿美元，之后2015年又飙升至680亿美元。但唯一没有改变的是，硅谷地区的风投份额却一直在以平均每年约1个百分点的增速增长。如果这种趋势继续下去，再过一代人左右的时间，硅谷将可能成为唯一一个任何人都可以创建企业的地区。
而形成这一趋势的因素有很多。首先是近距离优势，互联网创造了一个更好的、更具流动性的人才和投资市场，使企业更容易找到最好的人，反之亦然。此外，由于公司保持私有时间较长，巨大的后期融资轮正在改变风险投资的性质，很多来自公共市场资金现在正在慢慢进入这一投资市场，但因为最大的民营高科技公司大多设在硅谷，这就导致公共资金又被集中反馈回该地区。
即使当企业开始在硅谷地区以外创业，他们往往也必需先要利用硅谷的融资环境和人才库。然后，随着公司的成长，硅谷也是最有可能找到合适管理人才的地区。
引人注目的是，这与第一次工业革命发生的情况正好相反。当时机器和人是很难移动的，但创意想法是自由传播的，这帮助工业革命从处于震中的英格兰北部传播开来，一直到最近的中国和非洲。但现在，人和资金都是可以流动的，而在硅谷地区住房市场居高不下等因素的影响下，流动性会更加突出。
对于初创公司的投资，在当前互联网时代变现的结果是集中性，而不是依靠一个分散的技术推动下一次工业革命。但这对美国二线城市的复兴并不是个好兆头，因为一旦某个制造中心形成，马上就会被全球化消化掉。
但历史不会决定未来。总部位于旧金山的Binary Capital公司联合创始人和管理合伙人泰奥（Jonathan Teo）就表示，他的公司即将推出第二波1亿7500万美元的风险资本基金，而他准备在远离平常高科技中心且被低估的地区创业。
他表示，他公司90%的投资都在硅谷地区以外。他认为，那些复杂、零散和受管制的行业比如医疗保健、教育和食品服务等应适合硅谷外创业，这些行业的技术应用要求也相对更低。
没有人知道，看似不可阻挡流向硅谷地区的风险投资趋势是否会发生转向，其他城市是否会因此受益于来自创业公司的就业创造。但像泰奥一样正在利用他们资金、专业知识改变这一现状的投资者都认为，硅谷以外的初创企业需要更大的繁荣。
