I grew up in southeastern CT and visit there occasionally. It's hard to describe how dead it is for commercial software development, even compared to Boston.

Even if one was inclined to open a good software shop in CT, you'd have neither low property prices nor an existing pool of highly skilled labor.

doesn't Greenwich have a good amount of quant shops?

I'm not sure, but that's an excellent counterpoint if so.

I shouldn't have presumed to speak for the parts of CT near NYC.

Westport is home to Bridgewater capital, and Fairfield was until recently home to GE headquarters ( which also used to mean a lot more ).

I haven't lived in the area for some time, but I haven't heard of many new businesses form in the last ~20 years.
