You're definitely right about Boston having an active startup community with lots of smart folks.
Personally I don't feel we have a "startup curse," but it is definitely something that others talk about. It's generally in reference to the fact that despite having all the things that you've mentioned, we're yet to have a company exit or grow on par with the most successful San Francisco startups.
- m0nastic 16y agoYeah, that's why I was curious what people in Boston felt. I left about 12 years ago (coincidentally to the Bay Area, although my reasons for moving were more surfing-related than startup-related), so I don't think I'm a particularly good judge of what the current scene is like.
