Midwest venture capital?
Today in a parking lot in Ann Arbor someone talked to me about his startup. He said it had been mentioned by TechCrunch, by Michael Arrington himself. He was clearly very excited about the mention. But he also said that he was worried about finding funding in the Midwest. “We’re so behind here!” he said. He looked a little frantic.
There’s a Google office in Ann Arbor, and thanks to Ed Vielmetti there’s a vibrant tech meetup. So if you are a VC consider Ann Arbor. There are people here who are ready to pitch to you. (For all I know, there are zillions of VCs in Ann Arbor. But my new parking lot friend didn’t seem to think so.)
