Will Northern Virginia be Silicon Valley 2.0?


Northern Virginia, locally referred to as NOVA, comprises several counties and independent cities in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. The region radiates westward and southward from Washington, D.C.


NOVA is the busiest Internet intersection in the nation, with up to 70 percent of all Internet traffic flowing through Loudoun County data centers every day. It is the largest data center market in the world by capacity, with nearly double that of London, as well as the world’s fastest growing market in 2018. Loudoun County expects to have 6,500,000 sqft (600,000 m2) of data center space by 2021. Accenture estimates that 70 percent of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud servers are located in their Northern Virginia zone.


With more than 17,000 tech companies already here in Northern Virginia, it has become a leading tech and innovation hub and has nearly five times the data centre capacity of Silicon Valley!

Boring Businesses and Why to start them?

Image
"Excitement in the ordinary" One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that investing in boring businesses can be a very wise decision. When most people think of investing, they think of  high-reward investments like clothing brands, food chains or cryptocurrencies. But that's not the case anymore because there is high risk involve. That’s why I’ve focused on investing in boring businesses that are less sexy but offer more stable returns.  So, why invest in boring businesses? These are the 5 reasons: They reach profitability more quickly. They’re less dependent on external investors. Their competitors are boring. Boring businesses are recession-resistant. They’re ripe for acquisition. When I meet with jet owners or big empire owners I usually ask this question that "What they do for living". They says they own a boring businesses and things like waste management company or they started a software company that helps mortgage brokers etc..   So, what are some exa...

Childcare industry is in dire need of attention

About one in three families with young children encountered “serious problems” finding child care last year, according to a survey that came out in October. And there’s plenty of other data out there just like it. I’m familiar with child care industry because I’ve been doing research on this industry for a time now and working with technology firms to develop solutions that can address those needs. Understanding the Childcare Industry’s Challenges The challenges in the childcare industry are multifaceted.
