If you’re looking at the financial turmoil on WallStreet, this is a pretty good contrarian move by Josh Kopelman at First Round Ventures to attract talents leaving WallStreet in troves to his startup companies.

Indeed it is in times like this that bode well for new startups because the smartest best and brightest who had the best training in in the top schools are now available to work outside the financial sector.

In the past few years, the good times at Wall Street has drawn many a young person to that sector as the lure of the $$$ is just so attractive.

But Schumpeter’s “Creative Destruction” has come to bear on WallStreet and it is in this period where we will see a tectonic shift in talent from WallStreet to many other industries.

I urge our friends at Wall Street to check out http://www.leavewallstreetjoinastartup.com/ and really consider using their financial and management talent to develop the next wave of entrepreneurial ventures.

Finally, for those that have given up on Wall Street. Come over to Asia. There’s a lot of opportunity still and we welcome you with open arms.

We’re already seeing a trickle of entrepreneurs landing on the shores of Asia. And we’ve no doubt that this may turn into a flood soon. Forza talent mobility through globalization!
