Where US unicorns still cluster — and why copying the map fails
New commentary examines the geography of US unicorn companies, arguing that billion-dollar startups remain concentrated in a handful of hubs rather than spreading evenly across the country. The piece contends that regions trying to replicate Silicon Valley-style ecosystems by simply copying the map of successful clusters tend to fail, because the underlying conditions driving those clusters are hard to reproduce. The analysis is drawing attention among startup and economic-development observers discussing what actually makes tech hubs work.
Why now: Ongoing debate among founders and policymakers about why startup success stays concentrated in a few US cities and how other regions can build their own ecosystems.
