I think Shotput is happy to draw entrepreneurs from all over the US, and this is good for our region.

In general, Shotput is important because there is almost 'no such thing' as seed funding in the southeast. A typical comment at an entrepreneur's round table here would be, "get to $1 million revenue, then someone will fund you." So this is important for the growing startup ecosystem in our region.

I wouldn't venture to disagree - comment was mostly based on the spin of the article.

It is disappointing to see Michael Arrington in the comments dumping on the article and the program.
