I've seen people who have virtually nothing except good relations in San Francisco, and they're running web sites with no potential whatsoever, and yet a couple of million dollars is a breeze. What i'm trying to say is that when there's another dotcom cash, you might want to be an entrepreneur or a VC fund who stayed in new england, beacuse maybe the lower funding level there reflects reality, as opposed to the dangerously optimistic levels of funding in Silicon Valley.
