Exit Interview — Technically Philly

Exit Interview is an interview series with entrepreneurs, innovators and other prominent technology community members who left Philadelphia for one reason or another, perhaps for another country or region or even just out of city limits and often taking talent, business and jobs with them. Started as a weekly series in January 2011, the goal is to highlight perception, obstacles and other concerns that hold Philadelphia back and can be addressed.
