The BBC spoke to U.S. entrepreneurs about why they chose San Francisco versus New York City as the location for their tech startup company..."Paul Stamatiou, co-founder of Picplum [a graduate of the Computational Media program in IAC's School of Literature, Communication, and Culture] wants families to stay connected by printing and shipping their favourite photos to friends and relatives. After graduating from college in Atlanta, he decided there was only one place for him to start a company and moved to San Francisco." Source: BBC, December 12, 2011
