Silicon Valley might be jaded but the less established Philly’s tech scene still feels fresh.

“People who do tech startups in Philly still feel that giddy sense of wonder and magic that comes from starting something totally new,” wrote Idinopulos, who spent five years working in Palo Alto at enterprise social software company SocialText and started at PeopleLinx last May. “We don’t take it for granted. We still feel lucky and grateful to be doing what we’re doing. We’re scrappy.”
