You keep mentioning exits - are you talking about being close to a network of partners that will BUY your portfolio companies, or being close to companies that can exit / go public / etc? A large number of exits have occurred in the Midwest over the past few years. Payments, Enterprise Software, Aerospace, finance, etc. What concern is there about a shortage of exits or exit source? It sounds like I'm missing a very valid concern.
Note: I also disagree with people lumping the entire Midwest together as a thing. Chicago != Milwaukee != Cleveland != Minneapolis != Detroit, but neither does SF = LA, so not sure how best to aggregate.
