Why Did Aviel Ginzburg Move to Seattle After College?

Aviel Ginzburg, co-founder of Simply Measured and later a partner at Founders' Co-op, says the move was close to accidental. Soon after college, a startup he was attempting with a high-school friend was not going to happen. They had no idea what they were doing, and their egos outran their ability. He wanted to go somewhere and learn what building a startup and building software actually required. The options were Seattle and San Francisco. He chose Seattle because a friend was already there, and he did not know anyone in San Francisco.
