I'm a bit biased because I live in Columbus but I'm seeing a huge shift in the tech scene here and it's growing very rapidly. There is a meetup for every night, hacker spaces everywhere, and everyone is either working at a startup or starting their own. Columbus is a powerhouse for biomedical research, banking and insurance and noone here has trouble finding a job in IT.
There was another recent article I read(but can't find) about an influx of people from the Bay area to Columbus and I've met a few of these guys. Most of them compare the culture here as slower than San Francisco but similar. Everyone wants to build something. People are coming to Columbus because the tech talent is solid, there is venture capital aplenty and the costs of living are very low.
- GBKS 15y agoI am in Columbus as well. It does feel like something is brewing, but I'm not sure how it will end up since the mentality is a lot more conservative. My info is in my profile, if you're interested in catching up.
