This is a piece in Entrepreneur Magazine about the startup scene in New Orleans. Since it's in my backyard, I'm curious about wider opinions from residents of more mature startup scenes.

Earlier this year, I volunteered with http://www.IdeaVillage.org for a week through the salesforce.com foundation. We helped some entrepreneurs put together a business plan and get some funding. If you're an entrepreneur, and you're looking for a supportive community to incubate a business, you'd find it hard to trump New Orleans.

Organizations like IdeaVillage & Greater New Orleans Inc really want you there, and everyone is willing to help make you successful. Entrepreneurs have the kind of access to the right people that it would take years of kissing Arrington's ass to achieve in the Valley. Plus, it's a fun city, but I didn't have to tell you that.

I live in New Orleans. It's a great place to be, so all of y'all come on down!
