I voted Africa, being from South Africa. When I clicked on the up-arrow, the number of points did not increment immediately. I had to refresh the page to see the new number of points. Poor user experience.
- OoTheNigerian 15y agoSup buddy? Lagos Nigeria here. Are you in Capetown? I heard that is the SF of these parts.
- ilitirit 15y agoI'm from Cape Town. Some parts of it might be like SF, but maybe not so much in the startup sense.
- richardw 15y agoMore than Joburg, methinks. You have Silicon Cape, Google Ventures, topless models, great mountain biking and a local government that has some interest in your continued success.
- fijal 15y agoSeen everything but topless models here.
- lusr 15y agoHaving lived in both Cape Town and Joburg (presently), I've noticed an interesting difference between the city cultures. People in Cape Town seem to start up creative and popular but small businesses, whereas people in Joburg seem to leverage off the huge business network here to create more 'serious', traditional businesses that tend to be more profitable but less 'cool' or popular. Furthermore, in Cape Town it was rare for me to actually meet people interested in doing a startup whereas in Joburg EVERYBODY wants to know what you do, who your contacts are, if you're keen to get in on something, etc. I'm actually a bit overwhelmed here by opportunities compared to Cape Town.
