My start-up just graduated from this: http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/06/dreamit-graduates-15-startups-in-philly-including-5-minority-led-companies/ http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/06/dreamit-graduates-15-startu... 10 of these companies have decided to stay here in Philly, at least for the short term, and significantly <10 (not sure the exact number) were from here to begin with. My personal opinion is that Philly is a pretty good place to do a start-up (for similar reasons as the OP), and the Philly tech scene doesn't get as much due as it should.
