Besides starting a company, try growing a company and getting enough technical talent.<BR/>As to food, come on Scott, you may have a good restaurant here and there, but you don't have anywhere near the variety or depth of choices that metro area like NY, San Fran or even Miami have. There is more to sushi than tuna and yellowtail. <BR/>I like Boulder, it is beautiful, but like people I know from Long Island, don't delude yourself into thinking it is the center of the universe!alan shimelhttp://www.stillsecureafteralltheseyears.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14170016.post-49777532824039635732008-04-18T18:06:00.000-06:002008-04-18T18:06:00.000-06:00Hi Scott: I agree that Boulder / Colorado is a great place to start a company. If your ONLY criterion is chance of success starting a tech start-up, you should be in the Valley. But hopefully one has broader needs like lifestyle, weather, etc. Boulder scores high on those fronts.<BR/><BR/>My comment was more directed at Jason's point that his west coast deal situation has improved since moving to Colorado - I just can't see that sustaining in the long term. Where you are based matters. Where you live matters.Ben Casnochahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088499341395231239noreply@blogger.com
