Ask HN: Where should I locate my startup to find the best EE talent?
I'm in the process of forming a company which will develop a new kind of medical imaging device. We have a good idea of our market and have a pre-clinical sales channel in mind, but we need very good people with backgrounds in EE (particularly analogue electronics) to take the development forward. I'm based in London but suspect there is a lack of talent here, particularly in the field of analogue electronics: I'm currently based in one of the top EE university departments in the country. The best post-grads want to do post-docs or switch industry entirely, while the undergrads do not have the level of skills I need (unless they are a truly exceptional student).
Assuming I am free to locate my company anywhere that has the right skill base, where would you suggest?
