There has been talk of that over the years. “If only you were in SFO” has come up a few times. The key is having them make one investment in Austin. That way when the partner who sits on the board comes down each month/quarter for board meetings, he/she can visit your investment. With one comes more. The tough one is finding that one.

Another topic is lead investors and why many Bay Area VC’s want an Austin lead investor and why we just don’t have enough large investors for that to be possible. But I digress…
