While there are some cities in America which are well-known for startups, some of them won’t be the best for everyone. These cities (which will go unnamed here, but are in California and Texas) may be famous for startups, but they are highly competitive and increasingly saturated with businesses just like the ones you want to start.

I’m an entrepreneur at heart so I’m always inspired when I hear stories about innovation. I’m inspired by the enthusiasm of the young, emerging startup ecosystem that is here. And I think about the “Seattle issue&# as a metaphor for startups and business in general. I’m in Seattle this week.

One thing this historic city doesn’t often get noticed for is its emerging Philadelphia startup scene. In the US, places like San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, and Washington, DC get the lion’s share of attention as startup sweet spots. Meanwhile, Philly quietly chugs away drawing entrepreneurs and venture capital (VC) dollars.

I have never been more optimistic about the impact that the tech startup community is having on cities in America or about the role that cities outside of San Francisco / Silicon Valley can play in our future. Changes in the Startup Ecosystem. So the startup work moves to where the startup founders live and not vice versa.

He had joined a young startup in LA called HauteLook and was interested in getting to know the local tech community. I always tried to be respectful of his time because he had a day job but he was always happy to attend dinner sessions, take a quick call from a startup or grab a coffee. The guy has knowledge. So why Greg and why now?

I raised money as an entrepreneur, like you, in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005 for two different companies. I never suggest that entrepreneurs just randomly pitch VCs. You’ll never make a great entrepreneur. So your journey to fund raising begins by strengthening your relationships with other entrepreneurs.

When I counsel startup entrepreneurs I give them my blunt dose of reality, “If you can’t easily identify target leads who have a problem you can solve then hang up your cleats – you’re not going to succeed.” I think that’s where many startups and even VC funds go wrong. Why Buy Anything ?

We didnt put strict specifications on what "technical" means, but the general idea was people who may qualify as a technical cofounder of an internet/tech startup and in particular, those who have been pitched ideas before. Have a validated idea that has a high probability of success for everyone in the startup. Be realistic.
