Sergio Paluch, Beta Boom

Sergio Paluch, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Beta Boom joins host Liza Vilnits to discuss TechCrunch article, "Silicon Valley is so dominant again, its startups devoured over half of all US VC funding in 2024” by Julie Bort. 

Sergio talks about how Silicon Valley is definitely still trending as far as a location for startups to thrive - the numbers don’t lie. But, there’s so much innovation happening outside of Silicon Valley. For the smaller-to-medium-sized businesses listed in the article, they are receiving funding outside of the Bay Area. Sergio goes into more detail about where else to pay attention to geographically, and why there are still massive opportunities outside of traditional tech hubs.
