There is a good article in the Boston Globe regarding the precipitous drop in VC funding in the North East:

It would appear that the VCs are sitting on significant cash positions and reticent to make investments. Based upon what I have seen in the market, this is not based upon a lack of quality opportunities. In the long run, this position will lead to the continued decline of this area in terms of technical and economic leadership. I am a successful entrepreneur, but I found the funding climate untenable. I took a position as the CTO of a West Coast industry leading company. I am finding that the seasoned talent flow out of this area is prevalent and concerning. It is quite sad.
