Why New Hampshire Needs More Startup Evangelists

March 9, 2010

Most entrepreneurs or venture capitalists are evangelist’s for their own company, or even to a larger degree their industry.  However, there is a middle ground that is filled by the likes of media companies or individuals that the New Hampshire startup scene is lacking.

We need more startup evangelists.  People like Scott Kirsner who writes Innovation Economy for the Boston Globe and covers many startups around the greater Boston area.

I’m sure the question coming from the readers of this blog will ask, “umm… isn’t that what your doing?  Or at least trying to do?”  Well… kinda.  Let me explain.

I’m passionate about startups, and entrepreneurship.  Especially those in the New England and New Hampshire area.  To add to that I believe I’m trying to partially fulfill that as an evangelist for the area, but it needs to be a mentality among companies, venture capital, angel investors, and the entire community around startups here in New Hampshire.

So — who is going to step up?

Note: I wanted to add this to the end of this post, I certainly don’t want to make this blog about me.  But I do want to try and add some personality - otherwise it would simply be a factorial website.  But I want your feedback, let me know what you think in the comments.
