Apparently for start ups, a lot! Scott Kirsner has written a cheeky article in the Boston Globe “Will Boston ever catch up?“. In it he criticizes Massachusetts for focusing too much on corporate technology and not enough on consumer technology. How does a Boston startup get Boston VC funds? Move to California!
Many Boston area investors, like [Todd] Dagres, aren’t hesitant about pouring their millions into California start-ups and hopping on planes
I don’t think it is as dire as Kirsner puts it, but I do think that when you get your first round of funding, moving your headquarters can be an important step towards getting seen. My friend Lee is even biking to silicon valley and moving eLifeList.com from New York to be closer to money.
