San Francisco, New York, and Boston.

When you include other cities like DC, Chicago and Los Angeles that’s basically over 95%.

What can Louisiana do to foster entrepreneurship?

I don't believe the combination of L.A., Chicago, Dallas, Houston, etc amounts to 15% or less.

There is no venture-capital going into Dallas or Houston my friend. Have you seen any start ups in Dallas or Houston? Established companies moving there yes, start ups no.

Here's 20

Of course you haven't heard of them, they are startups.

In.

From, can be anywhere. You could have money coming from the Middle East, sovereign wealth fund, Asia, or just the USA.

looks like DFW's dot is a lot bigger than $250 Mil, which is a lot more than "none".

Obviously being tech is a huge advantage but people do other things too and will continue to do so until someone creates an app to feed and clothe you.

Venture-capital doesn't only go into tech. Sure a lot of it goes into that space, but it can go into a start up in any industry. Also, that Dallas circle is really small.

Reform government corruption.

Restructure the various tax schemes to favor business.

It isn't any more complicated than that.
