On: What Makes a City Startup Friendly?

The one item that really matters is:

Community of experienced entrepreneurs.

That's kind of a chicken & egg thing though, isn't it? How do you get that community if your city isn't startup friendly?

bust ass for the rest, then don't bail out to the Valley when you get funded. yes, i'm looking at you, groupon. please don't leave us.

in my opinion, this article is answering the question "what makes a city easier to find vc money." we really need to break the mentality that palo alto and boulder are the only places where technology and web-based startups can go to market.
