Having grown up in two so-called flyover states myself (Wisconsin and Minnesota), my attention was drawn yesterday to an article about why it’s so hard for entrepreneurs outside Silicon Valley and other investor hotbeds to attract venture capital.
Ok, I can’t help but feel a bit amused when people talk about anything between New York and California as “flyover”. But the writer, Paul A. Jones – a former Silicon Valley attorney who now works as an entrepreneurship adviser in Wisconsin – does offer up some interesting points about the disconnect between investor groups and entrepreneurs in these more off-the-radar locales.
