I was making plenty of money consulting and, while I was investing much of the money I made from the sale into new companies as an angel investor, the idea of living in Homer was attractive. So we packed up, moved from Boston to Boulder, and decided to build a life in Colorado, while I continued to invest.

I’ve known Joe for a while – we met through Techstars Boston, where he’s been a great mentor and very active angel investor. He had just read my post on being uncomfortable with the phase of the current cycle and told me an anecdote from the great Internet bubble of 2001 that I hadn’t heard.

Ive been helping create software and Internet companies for over 25 years, starting with my first company, Feld Technologies, in 1985 when I was in college. Since then, Ive been involved with creating and funding hundreds of companies both as an angel investor and a VC (now at Foundry Group). Much harder than I thought.

Key sources of financial capital for any startup community must include friends and family, local angel investors, and venture capital access. Despite the reach of the Internet and cold calls, there is no substitute for warm introductions. Financial capital – revenue, equity, debt, funding.

Of course this can be done and of course I am a big proponent of the rise of startup centers across the country as the Internet has moved from the “infrastructure phase” to the “application phase” dominated by the three C’s: content, communications and commerce. Think about Facebook had it stayed in Boston.

One of our conclusions was that VCs get better returns when they invest outside of the traditional geographic hotspots of New York, Boston, and the San Francisco Bay Area. We have seen this first-hand, with some of our best investments being located outside of the hub geographies, e.g., Cornerstone On Demand in Los Angeles.
