JULY 22, 2012

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?

Image via Wikipedia From the advice I hear these days, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be in Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, or one of the few other financial hubs around the world. What does that mean for the rest of us, who reside or grew up in the thousands of small towns that cover most of the landscape?

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.

Many of us would remember the tons of brands who had scheduled positive messages on social media during the Boston Marathon bombing case that really did land them into a tragic soup.

So, why doesn’t Boston get more love on the consumer internet side? But deeper than that, I think there tends to be a practicality to Boston companies that is a little less media friendly.
