Bengaluru vs San Francisco: Where to Launch Your AI Startup

San Francisco, the hub for tech talent, investment, and trends, has long been the go-to destination for founders looking to build the next big thing. But now, the Indian city of Bengaluru is quickly emerging as the next major startup hotspot. 

Nick Linck, an X user, recently shared an insight: “Your startup’s runway can stretch five times longer if you choose Bengaluru over San Francisco.” 

But how? 

For starters, you can get a place to live and hire a cook for just $500 a month. Compare that to San Francisco’s sky-high living costs, and it’s no wonder that early founders are starting to rethink their options.
