We ranked America's top 30 startup-crowdfunding ecosystems. Los Angeles came out #1 — ahead of San Francisco and New York.
Each metro is scored 1–10 across five factors: momentum, capital, expertise, network, and scale. The headline isn't just the order — it's that no single city wins on everything. LA leads on capital, San Diego on scale, Cleveland (yes, Cleveland) on the experience of its founders.
And the map is wide: the top 30 span 20 states, holding 73% of all funded activity.
