Where You Come From

At the bottom of this post you will find a map and a table of AVC visit activity by geography for the past twelve months.

You could look at this data two ways. AVC is dominated by US visitors. That's true. 63% of visits come from the US. Or you could say that this is an international community wtih about 1mm visits a year coming from outside the US. Both are true.

Everyone is welcome here at AVC. But we do use english as the language of choice in this community. And so english language speaking countries dominate. The bounce rates are highest and the visit lengths are shortest in the countries that aren't english native. That makes sense to me. 

I am proud to have an international readership and community here at AVC and I hope we can make it even more so in the coming years because entrepreneurship and technology are global phenomenons and only growing more so.

    Very disappointed my personal efforts seem not to have nudged the needle in Switzerland :)Combining tech. , management and finance outlooks through thought leadership I would be surprised if interest were not International.I see the head in sand attitude to venture in Europe as particularly sad – there are great companies worthy of investment but visionary backers are few and far between

    1. Carl Rahn Griffith

      Indeed, James…

      1. Ed Freyfogle

        All you can do is be the change you want. As someone who moved to London to start a tech company 8 years ago all I can say is that the scene now is exponentially bigger than it was then. Not just in London but all across Europe. Obviously lots of noise, clutter, distraction, missteps, and indeed outright failure, but also lots of solid hard work emerging, and in many cases already being rewarded. The future looks great.

        1. Matt A. Myers

          Why I’m moving to Toronto in the fall.I was planning to do it last year, just things are much better aligned, and more ready than before.

          1. Farhan Abbasi

            Matt can you elaborate?(Toronto-born Bostonian here who may set up shop in my birth city one day).

          2. Matt A. Myers

            Just relating to where I am personally at with my business plans – it’s the right timing to go to Toronto, and there’s been a growing ecosystem there with government support, etc.. Much more so than even a few years ago.

        2. Russell

          Yup agreed.

      2. James Ferguson @kWIQly

        Ed – Agreed – London and Berlin are making the right noises.But in Switzerland if you haven’t got a 50 page business plan you don’t pass go πŸ™‚ – Lunacy from the land that I believe has a government spontaneity planning department πŸ™‚

        1. Ed Freyfogle

          Your business may be in CH, why do your investors need to be?

          1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            Ed, they dont – we are talking to people in London and Munich. We have offices in DE , UK, CH and there are tax benefits in Swiss companies ( no capital gains !). So it is (for us) a matter of finding the right investors rather than the money.

        2. William Mougayar

          Maybe it’s easier to start a chocolate or cheese factory in Switzerland then?

          1. Matt A. Myers

            If you have prototype chocolate and cheese for investors to demo, sure. πŸ˜‰

          2. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            Some markets are MUCH better done the traditional way. Real Cheese and Chocs or Soylent Green – tough choice !

          4. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            Do you mean Sbrinz http://en.wikipedia.org/wik… had some grated on a Spaggetti Bolognese – not ten minutes ago :)Per wiki – The name may come from the village of Brienz in the Canton of Berne – Brienz is 10km from me !

          5. William Mougayar

            Yes, Sbrinz – it’s like a harder Parmesan. I like it a lot. Wow, so it comes from Brienz!I presume it’s must be really good since it’s local. What a coincidence.

        3. Farhan Lalji

          Erm, as a Canadian who’s spent the last 15 years in Europe and 2 in Switzerland I feel like I have to comment here.There are a few of examples of start ups growing out of Switzerland with execution rather than large business plans. Newscred and Shafqat Islam comes to mind, they started in CH, got their first few rounds in CH before moving to the US.Think Housetrip and Poken are other examples where you have product and traction leading to investment and growth.

          1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            Fair Play – and really good luck to them.It is sad people need to move to get physically close to a virtual market !Hmm (blog post or analysis material there ?) @fredwilson:disqus

    2. fredwilson

      About half of our investments in the past 12 months have been in Europe for this exact reason. Supply demand imbalances create investment opportunities

      1. Matt A. Myers

        It’s because you’re a thought leader though, and most are followers – so there will be more investments that investors there (or likewise in the U.S.) don’t understand the play you’re making. It makes for a relatively good selection for you I imagine – puts you in a good position.I wonder how many other mainly-U.S. firms invest in Europe.

      2. Russell

        Fred, do you have the intra-US numbers? Would be interesting to see the East Coast/West Coast balance – and if the Midwest is making waves

        1. fredwilson

          attached

          1. Russell

            London makes a much better showing on that list – but as Jay says “You run NY!”

    3. Matt A. Myers

      Perhaps it’s because the entrepreneurs are reading blogs, the investors are not.

      1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

        I think an entrepreneur who has his eyes closed to learning from others is already in the down elevator – looking around everything looks ok – but eventually you hit bottom.As for investors – it’s dog eat dog – we would be very happy to pitch a US VC with European aspirations

        1. Matt A. Myers

          The issue is aligning of understandings of markets and business models.Part of that is transparency of investors, and entrepreneurs – of voicing what they are looking for and what they are offering/doing.The more and better you know, the more finely you can connect with one another.Some investors just are followers though, and will invest in what others invest in – is okay if you just want money, though they may not be able to be of any other help.

          1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            +100 >> The issue is aligning of understandings of markets and business models.I think this is probably more of an issue in B2B markets, non-English Speaking markets (just because tech-cultural change often adheres to linguistic boundaries).A huge exception (when tech went the other way) was post Berlin Wall – when real technological capability flooded out of the old eastern-bloc particulalry in electronics where people were very used to McGyvering a solution due to the frustration of doing technology under Soviet governance.

    4. William Mougayar

      I agree. There are some interesting opportunities in Europe. You guys have a chip on your shoulder because the US is doing so well with tech startups. Same with Canada,- we look-up to the US in envy and want to show we can have world-class startups in Canada too, and this is beginning to happen.

      1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

        Winners win – while losers make excuses. So if we are envious we simply need to change things not complain ! But acknowledging reality is a good thing to do when wanting to change it.

      2. Ryan Frew

        Well there’s your problem. Instead of looking up to the US, you’ve really gotta look down. Otherwise you just won’t see us at all. I’m short on shares that I bought in BBRY yesterday. Anything gonna happen up there this week?

        1. William Mougayar

          I don’t have a clue re: BBRY, but it wouldn’t be good for the Canadian Tech economy if they go under.”If we look at someone smaller than us, we will become dwarfs, but if we look at someone larger than us, we will become giants.” – modified quote from David Ogilvy.

      I was thinking it’d be nice to see Canada beating out U.K numbers.It would be nice to see the breakdown based on population size. πŸ˜‰

      1. Ryan Frew

        It’s a slow day at the office. Population #s are from Wikipedia. Obviously, this is a pretty flawed way to measure, but it’s all I had:

        1. Cam MacRae

          You too?! I was just in the process of doing similar when your post appeared. Thanks!

        2. jason wright

          that UK pop figure is official, and wrong. UK supermarkets estimate, based on their sales figures, that the UK pop is nearer to 75mm. UK GOV is re-engineering the UK economy by stealth to strengthen its position to France and Germany.

          1. Ryan Frew

            Using the supermarkets to gather population estimates sounds brilliant. I’ll check that out.

          2. Matt A. Myers

            Probably want to take into account weight gain of the population too – maybe people are just eating more. πŸ˜‰

          3. Matt A. Myers

            Want to know what’s scary? A friend who lives in Hong Kong said China numbers are closer to 2 billion population.

            I wonder if all governments are doing this.

          6. jason wright

            i’m sure some are. i’m also sure some hold some of their public’s money offshore in private accounts.Officially Russia’s pop is falling. that might be true.

        3. William Mougayar

          Cool. I was going to do that same analysis. I suspected that Canada would have better engagement than the UK.

      2. Allen Lau

        I have been reading this blog using feedblitz. It is very convenient as it goes straight to my inbox. But perhaps I should visit avc.com directly to help boost the Canadian number. πŸ˜‰

            And with all respect to @fredwilson:disqus the comments are 90% of the value (sure he would agree)

          1. Matt A. Myers

            Do those stats you posted take into account location of RSS users? Not sure if all instances would allow that to be possible..

          2. fredwilson

            Dont think so

        3. William Mougayar

          But you don’t get the whole post in the email, do you? I just checked, it’s truncated, so you need to hit the link to read it on the website, no?

          1. Allen Lau

            I get the whole post but I don’t get the comments. We have meaningful discussions in the comments here. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to follow them usually, which is a shame ….

    7. LE

      After reading your comment I realized I never knew you were from Switzerland.Perhaps an idea for Disqus to display the country of origin for non-us visitors. [1] And a flag.Reason being is that way it will highlight that there is a wide representation outside the US for non-us readers who upon scan of AVC might not know that is the case.Additionally residents of those countries would focus on the country similar to the way you start to notice a car you are going to buy which magically appears over the place (not sure what the “bias” is for this effect but it does exist).James Ferguson – SwitzerlandWilliam Mougayar – CanadaCarl Rahm Griffin – United KingdomOurielOhayon – Israel I think it adds a classy touch.[1] I realize this is probably never going to be implemented but I will suggest just the same.

    “The bounce rates are highest and the visit lengths are shortest in the countries that aren’t english native. That makes sense to me.”I wonder if worth experimenting with an auto-translate, and have the viewer needing to click “Show me English version” if they are wanting untranslated?

    1. Laurent Boncenne

      I’d rather see more international issues / financing related topics before I see every post translated in every language…I don’t think I’m the only one here who appreciates reading and communicating in english precisely because it gives me an opportunity to practice a certain type of vocabulary that I would have a hard time finding somewhere else…Also, if posts are suddenly translated, then what’s the effect on the community overall? Like you stumble a post in french but the conversation is mostly in english, then someone makes a comment in indian and you have an entire discussion most visitors can’t understand or participate in.also, hi! back in canada? how was england?

      1. ShanaC

        Actually, this would be really interesting as an MBA monday request

        1. Laurent Boncenne

          which part of my comment? discussing international issues / international financing?

          1. ShanaC

            yes. It has never been covered, and it would be really interesting

      2. Matt A. Myers

        I am back in Canada! England / the U.K. was good – the weather kept being fantastic and sunny. I started to think they all lie about their terrible rainy weather to keep others away…

    2. kidmercury

      auto-translation technology sucks, especially when you apply it to jargon-intensive dialogue

      1. Matt A. Myers

        Google is fairly good with it, though I agree – sometimes it is bad.

      2. Matt A. Myers

        Mostly why I am thinking it more of an experiment, to try it out.

      3. Farhan Abbasi

        Used Google translate to date a girl in Colombia. Ended up saying “you are cold” when I meant “you are cool”. (Tu estas fria). Checked now and they’ve fixed it.Translate wouldn’t work with current translators here unless crowd edited (edit huddle is one app), which would be a heavy use of community effort. Maybe translators will soon get better at understanding nuance, jargon, slang, etc.

      Good Idea – Trouble is Google used to translate my home town as”Between the sheets ” – Interlaken(Shame just checked some fool “improved” the translation)

  9. William Mougayar

    That’s 225,000 visits per month, 7,500 per day, 312 each hour….Impressive.Curious if you care to disclose how much you pay per month on hosting to support this kind of traffic?(to those that thought this blog could move to wordpress with an overnight transfer, think again)

    1. Matt A. Myers

      Hosting cost? That really shouldn’t be much at all … that is a tiny amount of traffic.

    2. fredwilson

      I think I pay typepad $10/month

      1. William Mougayar

        Wow. That’s pretty cheap. I’m paying $50/month for an upgraded managed server for WordPress hosting and with 1/10th of your traffic. That’s an eye opener re: Typepad hosting.

        1. Ryan Frew

          Rackspace?

          1. LE

            Have some stuff there and have been happy for the price paid. That said it’s a YMMV from what others have said. (Perhaps they pay to much per gallon who knows?)

          2. William Mougayar

            MediaTemple.

        2. LE

          It all depends on what you need and what you get for the money.I would pay $50 per month for a reliable handyman that when I needed something fixed would return my call same day and show up next day to fix what needed to be fixed thereby saving me time and money trying to coordinate someone to do the same. (Handyman would also get paid for the job obviously.)I have a few people around and pay perhaps $1000 per month but those people are available at anytime (even when on vacation) if something needs to be fixed or for other information issues. I’ve been doing this for years and years. One guy I hardly ever even ask anything. But he could be in India and if I need something he is there.Given a need I don’t look at price I look at the value for the price and what problem it solves.

      2. LE

        That’s not even enough to feed Sally Fields children’s charity kids.In any case hard to believe they aren’t getting more money than listed on their pricing page out of Marriott, Salesforce or Discovery (see “trusted by”).http://www.typepad.com/pricingOwned by these guys:http://www.saymedia.com/abo…This dovetails totally with the fact that the product is being ignored (from what you say I don’t use it). Makes no sense to not offer pricing to take advantage of people/companies who can and will pay more.And in a sense need to pay more. Imagine if you are a corporation and you are paying $30 per month and something goes wrong.I get scared off if something is to cheap relative to the value provided. You are paying way less than you should for what you are getting and the traffic you have.

    I seem to remember a post from a couple years ago — probably of the Fun Friday sort — where everyone chimed in, in a non-native language.I think Fred wrote his post in French.And everyone commented in a variety of languages – my comment was in Portuguese.

    1. fredwilson

      Good memory!

      1. LE

        Yeah it was a purple cow so it stood out. [1] Other way is with repetition. [2]With what Matt just said I remembered that post upon reading what Matt said.I definitely remember this:”I think Fred wrote his post in French.”That stood out. (Personally I wasn’t a fan of that post iirc.)[1] Like the time you yelled at some woman (oh shit was was her name (LE pauses determined to remember and not do a search for the answer) … Cindy, that’s it. It was Cindy because she was pushing women’s issues. She has blond hair I can see her avatar. Something about “Change the balance” that was getting annoying.[2] Kid Mercury doesn’t like Apple.

          that is why i repeat 9/11 being an inside job too, although i’ve reduced how much i repeat that since some things require a greater degree of psychological fortitude that weaker people cannot accept even with repetition. with the passage of time and with greater societal hardships they will be strengthened, at which point the stored value of repetition will be unleashed.

    Speaking of, “Where You Come From”, has AVC ever gathered a list on where we all hail from? Could be fun, when traveling, to grab a beer with community members from other cities, or throw an AVC get-together. Here’s a link if it hasn’t been done (and if this isn’t a terrible idea):https://docs.google.com/spr

    1. Drew Meyers

      Here is the tag results: http://www.ohheyworld.com/u… (IF logged into the site, the results would be sorted by geographic proximity)

  24. Drew Meyers

    If there was a really really simple way to discover who the other AVC community members near you in the physical world (say, within 25 miles) are, how many people would be interested in using it to connect with others?Think the old MyBlogLog dynamic of “show me the faces of a given blog community”, but with geographic proximity as primary sort order.This is one of the most passionate and loyal communities that exists on the web, so I know the dynamic of wanting to connect with others applies – http://blog.ohheyworld.com/… – but I’d love any and all feedback.

    1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

      I would happily go further on occassion – plus I guess this is a well travelled community. Interesting to know what cities would carry enough interest for say quarterly meetups

      1. Ryan Frew

        Coincidentally, I just posted a public Google Spreadsheet elsewhere in the comments if anyone would like to fill in information for something like quarterly meetupshttps://docs.google.com/spr…

        1. James Ferguson @kWIQly

          Done – Expect it will attract some spam – but worth it !

        2. Drew Meyers

          Hey Ryan-I’d love to chat with you a bit to get your feedback…we already have a whole system in place that can handle this better than a spreadsheet. I just sent you an email.

          1. Drew Meyers

            How do you know Rocky (or her husband Jeff) or the organization?Truly – amazing family. I had the chance to spend a week at the orphanage in Nairobi in 2010 and timed it so Rocky was there at the same time. Such an amazing experience.

          2. Ryan Frew

            Seems pretty cool. A little less passive than a spreadsheet. How would I look at everyone who reads AVC in Cincinnati, for example?

          3. Drew Meyers

            Your “tag results” page (ie if you click “avc” from your profile) will show you others with a matching tag, and order them by proximity. There is no one checked into Cincinnati right now – but you could set it up to notify you via email anytime someone who matches that tag checks in around you. If you search for “microfinance”, you’ll get a better feel for it since there are numerous people in the system tagged with microfinance already.

          4. Ryan Frew

            Interesting, right now, I can’t query for people who live in London who are interested in Microfinance. Do they have to be my friend?

          5. Drew Meyers

            No. Are you logged into the site? We still have a reg code on it, so you can’t search without having an account.I see this on my microfinance results – https://www.evernote.com/sh

          6. Ryan Frew

            Yep, all logged in. Wanted to try finding people who were interested in Microfinance, but only in London. It didn’t allow me to do both – just one or the other.

            Yea, right now you can only search by city or interest – not both at the same time.Longer term – the “everyone checked-in” part of the city search results – will be people with the most matching tags.

          8. Drew Meyers

            You probably already figured out that you’ll need to check-in to a city in order to show up on that “avc” list.Send me any other feedback you wish to share.In a perfect world…the landing page for AVC would be something like the attached image..

          9. James Ferguson @kWIQly

            Would be very useful the to have a “zoomable” location (ie degrees of specificity. Otherwise even the AVC communities will be small for most people most of the time. I would bet another AVC person is in Switzerland right now but in my “city” – very improbable. But as the pop of Switzerland is less than NYC people would be prepared to travel more for a meet.

          10. Drew Meyers

            The tag results page will show you that already – it’ll show you everyone that matches that tag with geographic proximity as sort order.But the “people nearby” from the current city page won’t get at that scenario right now. Default is within 25 miles of the city you are in. But seeing others within the same country is certainly feedback we’ve heard from people outside the US. It’s on our list, just haven’t gotten to it yet.

            really? what is it?

          14. ShanaC

            perfect. I need to borrow this for a launch of something πŸ˜€

          15. Drew Meyers

            The same dynamic will work for any group or community.Send me an email if I can help in any way. drew at ohheyworld

      2. Drew Meyers

        Exactly. I’d love to know who is in the avc community in Seattle to meetup with.

    2. kidmercury

      we need a mobile app for that. “find fellow fredlanders nearby.” google+ will probably have this for their communities feature in due time.

      1. Drew Meyers

        It exists already…it’s just mobile web now though.

    The world is waiting for a javascript snippet that will automatically translate your website and provide one-click crowdsourced translation improvements. The readership here would surely be very generous in helping out.At my job I work with a stable of users who happily and regularly provide us with translations for our app, though the workflow is not as seamless as I wish it were.

    Hi @fredwilson:disqus , I’m very happy to see Brazil in your Top 10 audience. We’ve met briefly about 2 years ago in General Assembly @ NY, and since then I’ve made personal efforts to present http://avc.com for Brazilian entrepreneurs, specially people from http://manguez.al, in Recife/PE.It would be one of the greatest contribution to entrepreneurship in Brazil so far if we have AVC content available in Portuguese. Maybe, If you agree, I think I can make a collaborative effort to translate MBA Mondays to Portuguese.

  28. Tracey Jackson

    Have Google translates spit out a Mandarin version and send it out. Bet your numbers surge. Then one in Hindi…

    So can we safely assume Chad does not exist on the internet? The smaller white spaced ‘country’ is Western Sahara.

    Tech news must be slow these days…

    1. fredwilson

      Nope. I am on vacation and didn’t feel like a long post today

  31. Joe Lazarus

    Curious what the state / city breakdown looks like for the US visitors. Mostly NYC and SF or well represented nationwide?

    1. fredwilson

      i attached it to a previous commentit is this commenthttp://www.avc.com/a_vc/201…

  32. Sebastian Wain

    I am curious: how many unique visitors come from Argentina?

  33. Daniel So

    born in the states but i live/work in seoul. pleased to be a part of this site!

    1. Drew Meyers

      I was in Seoul in 2010 for a week and a half – really loved that city!! How long you been there?

      1. Daniel So

        4 years now.the startup scene here is incredibly dead. THe only field that’s seeing any growth in games, which is where I happen to work.

        1. Drew Meyers

          gotcha. Would love your feedback on what information a “techie” would want upon arriving in Seoul to get acquainted with the city?

  34. Abdullah Alshalabi

    From Kuwait, just moved to Dubai. I don’t think anyone can compete with that!

  35. Ro Gupta

    Looks like UK visits are stickiest if you look at the other columns. Wonder if it’s because of language + time difference (UKers get to first read during lunch or aft GMT).

  36. DotLang

    Some of us read your posts via the daily FeedBlitz emails that we get. Most of the time, there’s no need to go to the AVC site at all, so that would suggest that the visit activity is even higher.

  37. Ricardo Diz

    Hmmm, the color scheme of the map is not best to compare countries, or is it just my laptop monitor?

  38. Ciaran

    When I lived in Ireland I loved the fact that, due to the nature of when Fred tends to post, I would often be one of the first people to comment on a post. Here in Oz, I’m nearly always late to the party.

  39. Masish

    I like the idea about having flags so that at glance someone can see the countries. I’m from Kenya. Would you be having a breakdown of members of this community in my country?

  40. Vivek

    Nice to see India on top 5 πŸ™‚

    Hi Fred! First time commenter, long time reader and fan from Brazil! :-)Keep up the good work, by educating the VCs and entrepreneuers across the world you make us all a little wiser and experienced. Unfortunately, I can’t dream of you ever investing in Brazil, but if it ever happens I would be honored to pitch you.
