I built a 3,000 person tech networking organization in NYC back in 2006 and was one of the first 100 members of the NY Tech Meetup back in 2005 so I’ve participated in a lot of these conversations. Mailchimp looks like it’s going to be a huge exit down in Atlanta, but that might turn out to be a one-off.

Many of you have probably read by now that I am returning from Austin to my roots in Atlanta. Even in the early Peachtree Software days, the decision to build our company in Atlanta was not made without some careful consideration. Oddly enough, our one primary competitor was in Austin, even more out of the way at the time.
