There are pockets. At MIT, as a student, it was definitely very pay-it-forward. But try starting a company in Boston and getting investment, or introductions, or do any sort of networking. It's literally impossible unless you have some way of scratching their back. I have heard this time and time again from founders that moved from Boston to the valley, and I have experienced it firsthand with my company.

But I don't have a particularly hard time getting in touch with anybody I'd like to. (And if anyone who's reading this would like to chat--well, email's in my profile. Don't be shy.)
