They will have grown attached to the geographic location where they lived while in their academic careers, and their network will also be based around the University. Start-ups will begin to spring-up, and forward-looking VCs will engage with the Universities to help create new entrepreneurs.

It seems the role of the founder and the role of a CEO are very distinct and different jobs, both of which are unlikely to be done well by one same person.

I was also interested in the misery loves company concept - since I have failed I'd rather read about other failures, than read about the guy (or the firm) that made it.

It's tough to put a price on the connections and mentorship provided, but it's clearly worth much more than the seed capital and can have a profound impact on the company.
