Can we just appreciate this ridiculously good editing?

I like how you use the space around you, using different angles, objects, and overlay infographics on them. The maps, graphs, texts etc really helps in your story telling, which is very important as a content creator, it is not just to flex your editor's skills, but it is something which is in real sense helping and supporting the quality of the content and the research you people do. KUDOS!

I remember the first time one of a video from this channel showed up in my suggested feed a couple years ago. I think it was one of the vids about startup fundraising.

Watching the production value skyrocket since then is almost unbelievable. The numbered list section starting at 9:27 goes especially hard. Whoever came up with that shot...just wow. I'm impressed. Keep it up!

I live in Tallinn which likes to call itself the Silicon Valley of Europe. It is true to some extent. Skype started the whole thing off which employees made companies like Bolt, Pipedrive, Wise. And now those companies have all produced further startups. So it’s now about the 3rd generation of startups here and the startup culture is very strong and only growing.

2 major problems here though that don’t quite allow it to become Silicon Valley - access to capital is nowhere near as easy and access to enough skilled labor is a bit of a problem for scaling

Elon Musk would've made a good Garvin Belson

You guys are raising the bar for all of us on YouTube! Keep it up!

Hi heard of Lagos Nigeria where tech is growing at a fast rate and the competition is crazy out here...
Investment in tech is wild and the young techpreneurs aren't sleeping...

A video on it won't be bad ...
I can help with your research since I stay Lagos
Thank you

From utah here and on the founding team of a startup and we like to think of “silicon slopes” as up and coming, but ya I’m sure it’s next to impossible to replicate Silicon Valley.

I think attracting talent is a huge factor as well. People tend to not realize the Bay Area has two of arguably the top 20 Universities on their doorstep (Stanford & Cal). Throw in California as a whole has almost 20 of the Top 100 Universities and it's just flatout insane to say another place can become the "next Silicon Valley". A place like Miami or Austin only have the ability to do this if they're respected Universities churn out a lot of engineering talent at a similar rate. This is basically impossible when compared to California. Texas best universities are UT, Rice, and A&M, while Florida has what? UF, University of Miami, and FSU? In my opinion Silicon Valley won't even come close to being replicated for several decades.


Edit: Please do a video on Tel Aviv tech ecosystem. If I had to call another city outside the US the next "silicon valley" it certainly would be that one. PolyMatter did a great video on it!

Hats off to Caya and the TEAM. Congratulations for the amazing work you guys are doing. I have been following you guys for awhile now and it's clear the progress. I am leader & mentor/investor in a local startup ecosystem in Angola, Africa and have been using this channel as a go-to for accurate content for new founders.

It would be difficult to replicate outside the U.S, maybe in another American state like Texas or Florida, more tax-friendly!

What a great video!!! I'm one of the researchers in Shenzhen, we are pushing a new industry policy called '20+8' which defined 20 new industry detailed area and 8 new developing directions in the next 5 years. Hope we can be another area that can equally cooperate with Silicon Valley rather than just be a replication of it.

Everyone underestimates Lockheed’s contribution. The largest contractor in the 50-70s Santa Clara Valley, whose satellite and defense systems drove the demand and growth of technology in the valley.

[Paulwenkosi]

New silicon valleys have started all over the world but people shouldn't neglect where it all started. I think the culture can't and will not be replicated.

The work you have done on this video is amazing.

Love Silicon Valley, was born and raised in Palo Alto

[alirashidy]

Netflix should definitely buy this series now or ask you to do a special one for the quality of production! I'm a day 0 fan and I've seen this progress to be unbelievable! keep it going.

Muy orgullosa de la calidad de contenido y visuales de Slidebean! De CR para el mundo! Sigan así!

Why does this channel not have a few million subs? Absolute gold.

Whoever is behind the camera and shot selection is killing it! Small nitpick though, is y'alls audio editing is a little choppy at times. It's overall not bad, but a couple times the music fades up and kinda overwhelms the dialog (arguably the most important part of an educational video). I seriously love the channel so just wanted to offer a way it could improve, the quality has overall improved massively and I'd love to see this channel get a solid following!
