Nice to see Boulder is just a good university away from being the next SV.
I am in but wait, I dont have buckets o money, I went to this supposed second tier university (but did undergrad in Austin so maybe I have half of that ingredient), and I am not a geek (at least in my eyes) so, I guess I am out.
Seriously, I think Boulder is ripe for SV goodness (but wait according to Dave Winer SV aint so hot – http://www.scripting.com/2006/05/24.html#whatPromptedThisPiece [good timing on this post too] ). CU is actually a top notch university. I received my masters in CS there and had some outstanding professors. Michael Main stands out as the best prof I have ever had. Recently, I have been working with Michael to bring my .NET User Group to the students (Michael has been instrumental in getting us lecture rooms and spreading the word to students).
Some other CU Computer Science professors of note & that I recall:
Jim Martin AI extraordinaire
Hal Gabow unbelievable algorithms genius
Richard Byrd a beautiful mind
Gary Nutt very nice guy and an OS
Tammy Sumner want to build software that is what the customer wants?
Evi Nemeth tough as nails and smart as a whip
Oliver McBryan world wide webworm
Boulder has the money, the nerds, and the university . I am anxiously awaiting the revolution.

I think it was smart of Paul,Jessica, and the rest to keep Y-combinator focused on the two start-up meccas in America:Boston and SV. There are existing networks in these two areas that would take years to build anywhere else. You couldn’t easily grab lunch with any one of a hundred angels in Boulder like you can in Boston. As for universities, you have to remember Boston doesn’t just have one great university, but many. From boston it is only a short drive to other places with lots of rich tech guys and good universities. Last time I checked Kansas and Wyoming didn’t have either of these things. For me however, the biggest reasons I couldn’t run my startup from boulder would be the distraction of the 14′ers, a ton of good IPAs, and Illegal Pete’s.

There are hundreds of angels around Boulder. And while I agree that an entrepreneur cannot easily grab lunch with them, I think that’s the point. With the right connections, they’ll be having those lunches. That is a big part of the missing link – the network.
It was a pleasure to meet you today. I found this posting while checking out your blog. Paul Grahm is my favorite technologist, and his book “Hackers and Painters” is simply brillant. After reading many articles on Web 2.0, I thought his essay was the one that resonanted. Thanks also for your thoughts on angel investing; a timely subject for me!

I’m a big fan of Paul’s myself and I did enjoy that book as well. Thanks for the comment!
