toxtethogrady Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 On 5/23/2022 at 12:23 PM, strickn said: Two years on, I still think it will be impossible for us to rival those regions without the financial industry legacy tailwind that made it advantageous for them to develop as clusters to begin with. And with no more backing than our area has, it might be better spent developing a cluster that is suited to our regional culture, rather than the most superheated (competitive but overpriced, where you rise the least in the rankings for the greatest table stakes) industry in the nation's economy. But when I have to eat crow, then, to quote H Town Man, it will taste just fine. And if our value play attracts a lot more people from around the world, provides careers that develop local talent without having to move away, and of course beats Dallas, then it will be hard to argue that our timing was wrong. This, I believe, is the problem. Not only does Houston not seem to have enough venture capital, but any that comes along goes to the oil and gas industry. With all the products being invented out of the TMC, there should have been several start-ups that would have gotten themselves established in the last decade. There certainly is plenty of know-how... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strickn Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) But we don't even want to be a clubby insidery back-slapping shark town which is exactly the mentality that VC requires. It's not an industry, it's a network, and they often make entrepreneurs let them refuse to sign nondisclosure agreements, so they can collude (ahem, compare notes on a startup) with their network of competitors before any of them agrees to terms with a startup. Until we can build a more hospitable but not more impersonal form of participatory accountability, to support a genuinely open and quirky (in a word Houspitable) form of reputation management and risk management ecosystem, then it isn't going to be practical for us to fund the value chain locally. That is, it will either take continued imports of outside investors like we're having recently (meaning a lot more of the capital gains flow back out of the area too), or a change in our own business culture to be more insidery in its expertise and outlook like those older metro areas.

Popular Post bobruss Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 We didn't have a port and we dug a fifty mile long one. Now #2 or 3 in tonnage We didn't have a rail and we built one. now we have three lines with plans for expansion We didn't have a space port and were building one. We didn't have an incubator and now we have 4. Just give it time and we will find our niche and for the first time there will be opportunities for interaction between the different members of the med center and it will grow and prosper just like all the above. We now have one of the best and highest ranked airports in the world in Hobby. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For projects like this, a little downtown Bagby street treatment should be in the cards. Careful, now - that's the kind of "should" that can break a fella's heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
