Accelerators, incubators, and co-working spaces have proliferated in Cambridge and Boston. Seedcapital is more readily available, including of course through NextView Ventures.

I put that in quotations, because, as I’ll expound, there is a start-up industrial complex that is designed to fleece novice founders from their seedcapital with predatory fees, terms, etc. Also, I’m going to start just writing accelerator, because writing accelerator/incubator over and over just reads poorly.
