After going through the VC mill here and seeing others do the same, it is painfully apparent that if you cannot bootstrap your business, or have another side business that provides cash flow to fund, you are best off leaving Boston. VC’s here expect early stage equity without risk. This is a great place to get educated, but if you have a good idea and expect VC funding, go west young man/woman. Don’t even hesitate. Maybe Boulder or another town, but leave the bean counters in Boston. Rather than attempt to shade folks’ eyes to support the local start-up economy, people like Mr Andersen can best achieve this good goal by applying their reputation to addressing the real problems embedded in the local VC / angel / regulatory scene. Doing otherwise just encourages more brain drain. Sorry to see the good ventures leave! ;_-( , we need the jobs.

Very persuasive, but right now we remain loyal to the UK, and believe enough in our concept and country to launch here first, as that we hit a deepening credit crisis.

Don’t forget Manchester, London & Leamington Spa. 2 big cities and one small town in England (UK) that we hope gets placed on the startup map. With some of the best universities in the world, and a global economy, success should not be so constrained by location. Come on England.
