The lure of the West Coast.
When I [Scott Kirsner] met Bill Clerico and Rich Aberman in 2008, the two recent Boston College graduates were just starting to talk to local investors about WePay, their online payment start-up. They had an idea - help groups of people make payment easier for collective projects like renting a ski house or throwing a bachelorette party - and they were working to build a prototype. I wrote about them as part of a column about how hard it is to change the way we pay for things, using new technologies like mobile phones.
