It's great to see that there are other Wesleyan tech entrepreneurs out there. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin after graduating from Wes, so I didn't realize there was such a big Wesleyan tech scene in NY.

That being said, there are a number of great start-ups coming out of University of Wisconsin, supported by a really exciting entrepreneurship community here. There was a TechCrunch article a while back about Wisconsin start-ups and Capital Entrepreneurs, a group that really supports the start-up community here in Madison (http://techcrunch.com/2010/07/24/wisconsin-land-of-beer-chee...).

Start ups from public institutions are out there! 94 labs, a Wisconsin incubator program that I went through just graduated 14 companies, many of which had founders from UW schools.
