Looks like you're correct. "Just outside" is absurd

Apparently there's a Cambridge, NY with a population of 2000 people

... which is about as far away from NYC (185 miles and a 3.7 hour drive from Manhattan, according to Google Maps) as Cambridge, MA is. It's near the NY/VT border, north of MA.

I'd guess that "just outside of NYC" is a typo for "just outside of Boston" rather than an ignorance of geography.

In California miles, Cambridge, MA is just outside of NYC.

In California miles, I live in Manhattan.

Yeah but General Catalyst is a pretty well-known Cambridge, MA based VC firm (unless you were joking, in which case, sorry!).

Its practically in NYC.
