We're a SaaS.
> A nearby college.
The city is closer to the engineering colleges, the rural area is closer to the liberal arts colleges.
> Research facilities, chamber of commerce or other business support.
That is definitely one of the factors I want to use to express my view. Both locations have great Chambers of Commerce but the city has (rough guess) 30x more businesses in it.
- DoreenMichele 9y agoWe're a SaaS. Make a list of what you need for that. Obviously, coders. But that won't be all. I am a writer, not a programmer. I am not familiar. But find out what that typically entails. Read articles on successful versions, the more similar to your area, the better. The city is closer to the engineering colleges, the rural area is closer to the liberal arts colleges. Do a more thorough assessment of what sorts of resources each college has. Just the type of college is not enough information. Find out what kinds of other things they have. Do they do internships with local businesses? Does one have a business incubator? Do they work with the local SBA? Catalog everything that may be pertinent to your business. but the city has (rough guess) 30x more businesses in it. Is this a B2B SaaS? If so, that may be really important. Since you are in the city, one thing you can do is start putting in some face time at local meetings of various sorts and making contacts. It takes time to develop a business relationship. Start now. It may not pay off, but if it is going to pay off, the sooner you start, the better.
