I marvel at Silicon Valley everytime I visit. Here we're a tiny minority and in SV its like visiting the company town. I imagine that's what it must be for a Hungarian car manufacturer to visit Detroit.
I think we have to work hard in Michigan to encourage chance encounters. How do we do that? Pick a single place at a set time to meet every week. Make it within walking distance of a university. Do it for each Michigan city with startup activity.
Do you have a Michigan startup? In Lansing all the user groups are having a DemoCamp at the Michigan Historical Museum on Dec 15. Sign up to speak here:
