You must also understand the value the product provides customers (along with the rest of your business model.). Joining me in the Stanford University studio were: Tiffani Bell , co-founder of the Detroit Water Project. For example, in Detroit and Baltimore you can lose your kids over not having water in your house.

In townslike Houston and Chicago and Detroit its too small to measure. Standards arehigher; people are more sympathetic to what youre doing; the kindof people you want to hire want to live there; supporting industriesare there; the people you run into in chance meetings are in thesame business. Afterthat theres not much.

Hiring the wrong person, particularly in an early stage company, can cost you dearly. For example, if you have a network security startup, the obvious players will be other security companies that sell similar products at similar price points with a similar distribution channel. I always like to use the Detroit Piston/LA Laker analogy.

Thus why I decided to wait until the market allowed for low cost investment. Twitter is an excellent distribution channel for us. (B)
