© 2008 Boston Millennia Partners Influence of Massachusetts Leaders on the Future of VC

© 2008 Boston Millennia Partners NVCA Perspective on Challenges facing Massachusetts VC Observations from Mark Heesen, President, National Venture Capital Association – 4/9/2008 Southern California (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County) is quietly becoming the second largest geographic region receiving venture dollars eclipsing the New England region which has held this position since venture capital statistics were kept. An informal survey of the region’s top venture firms indicates that the Massachusetts venture industry is increasingly focused on deals outside New England because of high operating costs & the perceived superiority of opportunities elsewhere The educated youth brain drain combined with a more conservative risk profile of region can discourage young entrepreneurs. Coupled with the high cost of living and infrastructure issues, we continue to export many of our most educated citizens to other states.
