An upstart group of hip, high-tech entrepreneurs has launched a scathing video that paints Mayor Thomas M. Menino as an uncool Vladimir Putin-like figure, saying his iron grip on the city is stifling its culture and strangling its economic future.
Greg Selkoe, founder of the nonprofit Future Boston Alliance, said he also is building a political base with an eye toward backing a challenger to the five-term mayor in 2013. Selkoe, a former Boston Redevelopment Authority staffer who now heads the successful online retailer Karmaloop, said he expects a “strong, young candidate” to emerge to challenge Menino — although he denied harboring political aspirations of his own.
