My Daily Burst of Knowledge- Starting Up In The Country

Everyone, it's Anthony Honesto. And here's my daily burst of knowledge for Wednesday, January 11th. As you can see, I'm in the heart of Richmond, Virginia, right in front of vcu. And today's burst of knowledge is about these pockets of innovation centers or startup centers that are starting to happen across the country. You know, typically we think about startups and innovation in the valley, of course in Silicon Valley, but really in New York City now and then of course, Boston. But what we really need to start thinking about are innovation hubs and startup hubs where there's huge amount of talent. There are two universities in this city, VCU and University of Virginia, that are producing some really incredible talent. In fact, what I'm standing in front of is the Art center for vcu. So when you're thinking about building startups and startup companies, it's interesting to start thinking outside of sort of the coast mentality and think about places like Virginia and places across the east coast in the Midwest where there's a huge amount of talent and driving innovation and startups across the globe. So that's my daily burst of knowledge for today. We'll see you tomorrow.
