Zuckerberg to Startups: You don’t have to move to Silicon Valley

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg has said that if he were to do it over again, he would keep his company, Facebook  — which he started in his Harvard University dorm room — in Boston.

“If I were starting now, I’d do it very differently—but I knew nothing back then. You get this feeling when you’re out here that you kind of have to be in Silicon Valley. There’s all these great engineers out here, there’s great universities, there’s a lot of great VCs, you can get people to help you set up a company well… you can rent data center space—all this stuff,” said 27-year old Zuckerberg.

He added: “It’s not the only place to be, I think…Honestly, if I were starting now, I just would have stayed in Boston.”
