” That was the question one of my students asked me three years ago when I quietly told him my plan to start a design museum in Boston with my friend and business partner, Derek Cascio.

In small towns, this may mean sponsoring local events, supporting complementary businesses, and community involvement.

Over a year and a half ago, I did a two-part blog post on the East Coast IPO malaise – one focused on Boston (Massachusetts more broadly), another focused on New York. There was one big exit from my list of NY IPO candidates – Buddy Media ($700M, Salesforce.com) – but no others. 9-0 in IPOs and 3-1 in big M&A in favor of Boston?

Two years ago Jeff Bussgang lamented about “Lost Generation” of entrepreneurs which I think is especially acute here in Boston. I was in my early 20’s just barely out of school when four of us (peers) started Sombasa Media (aka BargainDog ) here in Boston beginning in 1998. My own personal story fits in with this narrative.

You don’t have the traction, the big-dollar investments, or the marketing staff to attract media attention. And don’t pitch a Boston newspaper on your San Francisco startup. Even if your own company isn’t newsworthy, you are on the ground in the startup community, and that is valuable. The irony hurts. Pitch late.
