We were living in Boston at the time. At some point Amy and I realized we could live anywhere and we knew that Boston wasn’t home. After selling my first company, I’d invested as an angel investor in a bunch of companies, was a non-executive Chairman / co-founder of a few, and had lots of ideas for new things to do.

Boston is a great place to start and build a company. There is a wealth of resources that are unique to this town and a vibrant community of hackers, business people, and investors at various stages in their career. However, Boston is a transient town, especially for the student population that refreshes a large population each year.

In my research on how private equity and VC funds source investments , 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 Bay Area. This is a generalizable principle: you get higher returns where other investors are not.

I’ve been spending some time with the current TechStars Boston class. This feels to me like the strongest class we’ve had in Boston so far and might be the one of the strongest TechStars classes overall. This class of companies in Boston is thinking big and is very diverse.

Think of Werner Vogels (CTO of Amazon), Guido van Rossem (founder of Python programming language and senior engineer at Dropbox) or the more senior Gerard Kleisterlee (chairman of Vodafone). Think of Stanford and Sandhill road in Silicon Valley, Route 128 in Boston or IIT in Bangalore India. So we have plenty of economic clustering.

If your friends or family happen to be rich, the line blurs betweenthem and angel investors. At Viaweb we got our first $10,000 ofseed money from our friend Julian, but he was sufficiently richthat its hard to say whether he should be classified as a friendor angel. Angel Investors Angels are individual rich people.

We still have some collective scar tissue: the idea conjures up the hordes of dot-com hopefuls that descended on VC’s and angel investors with little more than a business plan. For example, in my work with MBA’s who want to go into software entrepreneurship, I often encourage them to learn how to program.

I have an interesting project idea, but it requires seasoned programming skills. If you’re in New Haven, you may have to go up to Boston. If your friends and family can’t capitalize your project, then you’ll have to extend your network to include business advisers, potential business partners, and angel investors.

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.
