“Brainiac-rich” Boston has been named the second best city for technology startups, according to USA Today.

The national newspaper asked the National Venture Capital Association to rank the top 10 cities for startups, based on dollars invested in young tech companies in 2011. San Francisco claimed top honors, while “capital-rich” New York City, “entertainment-meets-tech” Los Angeles, and “business-to-business” Washington, ranked third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Boston has 700 startups, with $2.77 billion invested in 2011 for 285 companies, according to NVCA.
