I heard Blank speak 3 times while he was in Ann Arbor and went to his office hours. Time and time again he made the point that the opportunity here is huge. I think he wants to make it clear that everything that is needed is here, except for risk capital. "Getting a few experienced super-angels and/or VC’s seeding 5-10 Lean Startup deals here a year, with a couple of Cleantech/energy deals as well, could kickstart the culture." There are a lot of active student startups[1], but more funding opportunities could provide a huge boost to the ecosystem here. [1]: http://cfe.umich.edu/techarb/ http://cfe.umich.edu/techarb/
