The Treasure Valley is a great place to base a business because of the educated local workforce, the relatively low cost of living, easy access to recreation and inexpensive costs to build or lease a facility, several local business leaders told a group of investors and entrepreneurs Wednesday.

Four businessmen — Bill Jacobs of MarkMonitor, Lyle Jordan of Western Electronics, Brad Wiskirchen of Keynetics and Jackson Chao of NxEdge — took part in a panel discussion at the Intermountain Venture Forum, answering questions about why they have built and kept their businesses in Idaho.

"Boise itself is one advantage," said Wiskirchen, the chief executive officer of Keynetics Inc., a holding company for an online payment processing business and a company that sells digital goods on the Internet. Keynetics has about 36 workers in Boise, mostly in customer service positions, he said.  IdahoStatesman.com
