This hits close to home. I am a software developer in Grand Rapids, Mi and we have a so so burgeoning startup scene here.
We have a couple incubators here but they are not particularly great and their money is expensive with few useful benefits. We have a decent concentration of software developers in town. Cheap office space and ok rents make boot strapping a bit easier. But like everywhere else we don't have nearly enough software developers here on the founders need to start scaling. I can think of a number of companies in town that are having problems due to a lack of devs.
But at least we have large tech meetup scene that likes to share.
