Boston has always been a great entrepreneurial community. Sure – it’s had it’s ups and downs, but when I lived here from 1983 to 1995 the entrepreneurial vector was awesome. I started my first company (Feld Technologies) here in 1987 and made my first angel investment (NetGenesis) here in 1994.

But we came very close to moving to Homer in 1995. We were living in Boston at the time. I’d sold my first company, Feld Technologies, in 1993. At some point Amy and I realized we could live anywhere and we knew that Boston wasn’t home. And just hanging out as we get ready to head to Homer on Monday.

Scott Kirsner had a fun article in Boston.com today titled The Red Line Tour of Innovation in Boston. But Feld Technologies wasn’t the first company I started at 351 Massachusetts Avenue – that honor went to Martingale Software and my partners Dave Jilk, Sameer Gandhi, Andy Mina, and Jeff Pierick. It smells like ADP.

A little known fact about us is that he was the only person I knew in Boulder when Amy and I moved here in 1995 (he moved to the east coast within the next year.) At the time I was president of Feld Technologies, my first company. I’ve known Verne since 1990. I first met Verne at the first Birthing of Giants program in 1990.

When I was where you are, 36 years ago (can ya believe it) I didn’t have a plan—but I did have an aspiration: I wanted to go to Silicon Valley and I wanted to work in startups. But they weren’t really in Silicon Valley at the time—they were in Boston, Minneapolis, New York. Eventually I left Oracle, wanting to do another startup.

There are a million things they can do in the world, but the spend most of their time looking for the next great technology company that sells a better widget, but doesn’t necessarily change their life in any meaningful way. I had my first exit when I sold my first company (Feld Technologies) at age 28. Totally brilliant.
