I have been beat over the head and told I was lying about this by you know who. Thing is why is it just UTAH that has such an outreach program to help start up firms get that bit of a boost to get going. Yes Utah does have mucho capital exchanges, and yes Utah has smart people, but so does IDAHO. So why don't one of those with deep pockets start something like Grow IDAHO Ventures? No neither me nor the Knytes are going to do it, hell our breadbasket is empty, or purtty near it, but I ask, is there not some outfit like oh I don't know Simplot or someone that could do something like this, here in Idaho?
Something to think about Idaho.
