London is the best place to build an AI startup in 2023

After Brexit I wouldn‘t want to build a company in the UK. Numbers show that many people and companies think that way.

Do you have a link to those numbers?

I think Brexit causes a lot of problems for the economy as a whole but less so for tech startups. The author is right that the visa system doesn't make it difficult to hire for high paid tech jobs and people as well as tech companies still want to come here.

Where I disagree with him is that "most things in the UK work relatively well". The NHS for instance is a major disaster zone. I would say there is a general sense of decline in the UK, but tech startups are an exception to that.

...says the AI startup based in London '23.

And in the next year there will be another place.

Isn't it more compelling rather than less that my actions back up my words? I previously lived in California!
