We figured that we’d never be back to State College, we had sold everything here, we had said goodbye to everyone and out of all the places that we went, when it came time to start West Arete, to start this company we decided that State College actually was the best place that we’d been to. That had a combination of incredibly good community and it has the right confluence of smart, intelligent, ambitious people flowing through as a community. And there’s enough economic activity to support a high tech, ambitious local business.
