Greg Huang at Xconomy has an interesting post on the need to bring Investors from the Bay Area to Seattle. To his piece, we would add the following:
- We need more Angels and VCs who have been entrepreneurs in the past. Seattle has an active investor community, but many of them didn’t come from startups.
- We do need more competition. We need a much livelier community of entrepreneurs that are open about fund raising and competition on the investor side to create a marketplace for ideas and capital.
- With both Angels and VCs getting into higher levels of funding we need more earlier stage investments…
We are not a Seattle focused blog, but because we are located here we tend to notice these types of things.
