AI / Chip — where the money concentrates
Headquarters of the public and private companies driving the AI / chip cycle. Dots are sized by company count and tinted by public market cap at the metro level. The pattern is brutal: one valley pulls more cap than the next twenty metros combined, and the second-densest cluster on this map is the one without a single public ticker in it — the private frontier-lab footprint in San Francisco.
