Reason #20: People want to invest in the midwest.

As was said in a recent "TechCrunch article":http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/17/for-tech-investors-the-midwest-is-flyover-country-no-more/, the midwest is flyover country no more. More and more investors are realizing that our region is full of high-potential startups that know how to work hard. After all, there's a reason investors travel from across the country for our Demo Day each year. We think we are on the forefront of the resurgence. When you're part of The Brandery, you become part of the movement.

The Brandery is my favorite accelerator to mentor. These guys have deep ties to branding agencies that give every startup accepted a competitive advantage in the crowded startup race. Every startup grows considerably in the 4-month program and looks fantastic by Demo Day. The Brandery is the best accelerator in the region and one of the top in the country.
