How about seeding and supporting more operations like BetaHouse. Or doing something about the taxes, non competes, etc to actually keep them here after they get going.

Its the time for bold action not press availabilities. And while the Governor is at it, how about making a better environment for investors to take risks in this state? Maybe create a SBIC like system or apply some of the state pension funds to backing the launch of new seed and early stage funds. How about setting up a system to work with start-ups on accessing federal funding opportunities? Maybe use those foreign trade mission trips to actually help the newcos of Massachusetts.
