There are some notable startups, but no real Startup Culture to speak of. There are some ++s: - Cost of living is relatively low - Modern luxuries, infrastructure, mobility, etc. afforded by a large metropolitan area. - Central location, with major airports (AA and Southwest are based in the DFW area) - Strong technical economy (TI, Lockheed Martin, telecom) - UT Dallas, UT Arlington, SMU - Mark Cuban? In my personal experience, I work for a startup in Dallas and we are doing quite well (profitable, growing). We're also hiring for full-time, permanent developers.
