> The most interesting thing I've learned so far is how clustered startup activity is in a handful of areas.

They are clustered like any other white collar company in the city, around the various historical business districts, and IMHO they could be thought as mirrors of the founder's personality to choose where they want to base their office: old downtown with cheap rents on decadent/retrofit old buildings; Paulista Avenue and Jardins with great public transportation, culture access and eclectic food; Pinheiros as the upscale cool foodie district which is now gentrified as fuck and losing its soul; Faria Lima as the core financial district; and Vila Olímpia southwards as the Faria Lima wannabe with AAA buildings but not as expensive as renting in the middle of Faria Lima.

A decade ago there were more than 250 start-ups within a kilometre either side of the River Liffey in Dublin.

IDA Ireland is the Irish Government’s inward investment promotion agency and has fantastic interactive maps, filterable by sector, showing the clustering around our major cities and CBDs. Dublin a huge outlier in terms of Tech, and Cork in terms of Pharma

Similar feeling to https://germantechjobs.de - just with a lesser focus on jobs. Don't quote me on it, but I think the founder of that website works as a talent agent (earning a living, I hope)

This is only part of Sao Paulo ecosystem but this shows how concentrated they are

The addresses come from eother their own website or their Linkedin profile

This is very cool! I've wanted to do something like this for Sydney but never got around to it. Are you scraping your data sources or building them yourself?

a mix of scraping + founders submit their own

The submitted site runs smoother, has less annoying popups, don't use the entire screen (on mobile) to show info of the selected startup and overall I think it has better UX than yours.
