Seattle

 

Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Expedia, ... these global companies all come from Seattle. Difficult to explain why, yet the people are proud of this familiarity with global success and are willing to perpetuate the custom. Microsoft and Amazon campuses keep dragging a lot of talents in town - Amazon has almost taken over a whole neighbourhood and is transforming the city into a Beta area to test its innovations.

​

I'd say that Seattle is a very calm place with very exited brains.

Remarkable places 

SURF incubator

SURF like StartUp Real Fast. Accelerating their members, the SURF Incubator also organises a monthly pitch meeting. For a tourist in that field, it was quite a curious event. People can gather and share drinks in the common areas. Some would pitch their startup to everyone, BUT, none is allowed to discuss financing and claim investment. That subject can only be disclosed inside the « Dragon’s dean » where only accredited angel investors can enter.
