New York venture capitalists like HOF Capital recognize this trend, and more and more of us are opening our doors to invest in startups with international roots.

NextView is our startup, and I often reflect on how things are going and what we could do better. Some of our most interesting companies have originated in places like Estonia (GrabCAD), Croatia (Farmeron) and Omaha (SkyVu), although all have either moved or have a significant presence in a major tech hub like SF, Boston, or NY.

It is the first in a series of posts he’s writing about the decisions a young entrepreneur needs to make when she/he is first starting a business.
