Is the Raleigh thing your personal experience, or was that just an anecdote with Raleigh as stand-in for "place that's not SV or NYC and thus has no business operating startups"? Because I live in Raleigh, and there are still a ton of stupid little startups occupying the office space (except now they're all at one of 10 different co-working spots). To be kind to my fellow Raleighites, there are one or two with potential too. Still almost no legit VC funding in the area, but people didn't stop trying. Too many college kids around who don't know any better.
