Ask HN: What do you see as the current non-valley startup hubs?
- sdevonoes 6y agoAmsterdam, West Germany, Berlin, Madrid.
- claudiug 6y agoberlin is a wannabe startup hub. germans investors have fear of risk. imho
- Communitivity 6y agoPlease also add the niche(s) if the hub is specific for one or more niches, instead of a general hub.
- jaegerpicker 6y agoBoston, NYC, Austin in the US. Portland Or and Northern New England (North of Boston, NH, Vermont, Southern Maine) might just be part of the Boston hub but if it's separate is seeing a ton of startup's.
- twbarber 6y agoDo you have any resources for startups in the not-Boston part of this region? I’m in northern Vermont and the job market here for tech has historically been pretty bare. Would love to work for a more local company than I currently do.
- amitry 6y agoPittsburgh, PA - niche hub for AI, ML and Robotics. Slowly becoming a more general startup hub as well.
- adamhp 6y agoI personally think there is a decent hub forming in the DC Metro Area, especially related to policy, non-profits, law, etc.
- blhack 6y agoPhoenix for silicon.
- claudiulodro 6y agoNot especially Portland, but there is a small community. The scene here mostly is dominated by Intel, Nike, etc. and a handful of satellite offices from other big companies (eBay, Amazon, New Relic, etc.) I think in 5-10 years it'll get there, though. Tech is increasing rapidly as a percentage of the Portland economy.
- aketchum 6y agoIncredibly biased because I work at a start-up in Atlanta, but especially in the FinTech space there is a strong community here.
