Startup Warrior visualizes startup hubs around the globe. Are you in a large hub like NYC, Boston, or San Francisco, or in one of the many new and growing hubs? Does this map match your expectations of where companies are?

Well, I was disappointed to see how few startups there are in France and generally around Europe outside England. But happy to see AF83, as I am considering a job offer from them :-P

Whoa - there's a startup here in Portland, ME that I didn't even know about! I thought this town was dead... maybe I'll drop them a line!

i love the idea.. interesting to see all those markers when the map loads. makes me feel special that I'm in Atlanta and there are only ~30 tech startups here.

I'd love to see something like this with other axes represented somehow: number of employees, years in business, programming language, average employee age.

A heatmap approach would've been better to depict the data I think. Or use different sized bubbles.

I am glad to see that Vodafone, a public company with a market cap of around $1,500,000,000,000, are considered a startup (data courtesy of CrunchNotes).

Is the site very slow for other people? (I suspect this is the google maps element).

It found one of my company's new subsidiaries, a very small branch of our existing work. Very nice Google Maps interface, which is the map "standard" I've become used to.

I can only imagine how much more robust (and maybe unmanageable) this might be if it didn't rely solely on information from CrunchBase.

I think my commute is about to get a lot shorter.

http://www.crunchbase.com/maps was released the other day.

I think that Startup Warrior has a better interface. Do you agree?

http://startuphubs.com - This site gives you a graphical representation of Startup Hubs around the globe! It lets you easily locate all the major hubs where most of the startups are happening.
