If you decide where the entrepreneurial hot spots are by polling your site visitors, what you get is a lot of data about where people wish they were.<p>The fact is, practically all startups need investors. Entrepreneurship means more than web/software startups, of course, but for web/software startups, the limiting reagent is investors with expertise and connections in that area. And they are highly concentrated in Silicon Valley.<p>It doesn't matter how vibrant a place seems if it is missing the specific type of expertise you need. So while Brazil, for example, may be a fine place for some forms of entrepreneurship, it will have the same drawback as a home for new tech startups that Silicon Valley would for, say, new fashion labels.

<i>If I had to make one choice, Brazil.</i><p>California is about one generation away from being Brazil. At any rate, anyone with an interest in South America knows that the best bet is Uruguay.
