Winkeler Eulogizes NetGenics

Paul wonders how the acquisition of NetGenics will affect Economic Development in North East Ohio:
More than likely it will simply get recorded in the annals as yet another valiant failure. Perhaps NetGenics rise and fall will become a Harvard Business school case-study; I for one would surely like to learn from its mistakes. Yet I am worried we in Cleveland once again do nothing more than stare at our collective navels; analyzing what went wrong; agonizing over yet another close call. In short, we won't do anything. Sure, I too feel some pangs of pain at seeing the company where I once worked, erased from the scene. But if this were one of the true entrepreneurial hotbeds we claim to want to create here we would be going out and starting a new business with all the excellent talent that was just released!
Yes! This is the kind of thinking we need. If you could gather together some of your friends (or ex co-workers), what sort of business would you start?
