That's not weird, even on sand hill road. I met with about 75 firms before getting a seed investment, and did probably 10-15 meetings with that one before we closed. First time founder, and they made it clear how serious their interest was at each stage (meetings after the fifth were with every intention of investing, which they did).

I own a Surface Pro 3 and I will be buying an iPad pro. The Surface Pro 3 for Visual Studio, and the iPad Pro for music production. The markets are completely different.

Boston was the first city in the region and was for a long time considered the most important. Oliver Wendell Holmes called it the Hub of the Universe. Over time, New York grew bigger and more important, leaving Bostonians feeling a little wounded. However, Boston remained the scholarly capital of the world, with two of the world's best universities a mile apart. Over the last half century, the world has celebrated academics less and money more,furthering the New York/Boston divide and intensifying the hurt feelings and envy. The final straw was Boston sports teams lackluster performance in the 1990s which led to the popularity of the Yankees Suck T shirts. With the number of Boston sports championships over the last 15 years,I can't imagine Yankees Suck shirts are still that popular.
