I know Madison, Milwaukee and San Fran from personal experience. I think you can find some by googling them, but others you have to either talk with someone who lives there or live there yourself.

There are some things I know how to find as they are easy. These being things such as good weather, large university, mentor programs, and low taxes. These are all things that most people would be able to find with a little effort searching on the internet. The more difficult criteria to find or for people not in tune with the start up world to know off hand, would be ones such as access to capital, low cost startup incubator, flexible professional service providers. How is this type of information found and judged for your criteria? I would like to judge Rochester, NY but am struggling with a few of the criteria.
