TL;DR: Not necessarily. It depends. If you care about venture funding, then yes, 35% of funding still is silicon valley. If you care about being acquired, then increasingly less so. If you care about IPOs, then yes lots of Silicon Valley-based IPOs. Basically, looking at this from an exits perspective shows Silicon Valley has an edge still.<p>Are those the metrics that matter though? Why does looking at this from a purely exits perspective matter?
