The other issue in Boston is one of focus. The reason Boston tech events and community blog posts, conversations, etc tend to be about funding is that it's all the consumer Boston startups have in common. There's no concentration (like NYC) and not enough volume (like SV) to get 10 people in a room all making startups that have similar issues beyond fundraising, hiring, and office space. That's not how communities are built. Communities are built on what makes them unique. Many Boston entrepreneurs find their peer communities in SF. Talking about fundraising all the time is boring.
