It's true about there being a ton of talent in Austin. The problem is that most of it works for the really big hitters like Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, AMD, Dell, etc. Most of the entrepreneurial focus seems to be centered around well-paid consulting work. When Google opened their soon to be closed downtown office, they had a mixer and invited alot the Austin tech community. I went expecting to find a serious startup crowd, but it was largely the same big names you see everywhere in Austin. It was rather disappointing. I hope that Capital Factory is successful if for no other reason than to give some of us the opportunity to escape our corporate jobs and do something really interesting for a change.
