Ask HN: Best US startup towns and cities outside Boston
Specifically regarding attracting SaaS software tech talent, what are the best places to headquarter a startup outside of Boston?
Boston is nice, but expensive, and a bit stressful to get around. We don't have to worry about VC money at this point, so I'd like to find a town or suburb where we could attract talent.
I'm considered as far north as Portland, Maine. Manchester, NH. Salem, MA.

- eyer2016 9y agoPortland, Or.
- Arbinv 9y agoIf you are thinking East Coast NYC and DC are very viable esp if you are B2B. Engineers are expensive in both places but you are asking about HQ location. I recruit engineers away from the coasts or from E.Europe.
