It sort of depends on your beliefs on the distribution and development of entrepreneurial talent.

Do you think anyone with the right capital and encouragement can be made into a great entrepreneur? Then what you say makes sense.

On the other hand if you think entrepreneurship is a rare feature that one in a million happen to develop, then you would want to find it wherever you can and bring it to your neighborhood so that when they hire thousands of people, and make them rich, it is your neighbors and friends who get hired and made rich.

Note that even if you believe that there is a lot of luck involved, you are closer to the second model.
