Why Dallas for Your Startup? This Infographic Will Help
- angersock 13y agoHouston is a cool bro too. Better food, more people, more bars, cheaper housing. EDIT: Rice and UH are both fantastic schools for research and business, respectively. And we've got the largest medical center in the world.
- jbigelow76 13y ago>Better food, more people, more bars, cheaper housing. As somebody from Dallas I almost started trying to argue with you but what nobody from Dallas or Houston like to admit, they are pretty much the same city.
- arbuge 13y agoAdd to the list: mild winters. Just returned from Seattle to the warm Texas sunshine...
- jamesbritt 13y agoBut, if memory serves, the humidity in summer is hell.
- Jehar 13y agoRecent innovations in construction have provided residents with rather effective countermeasures to the weather. But seriously, having moved here from a snowy/cold climate, I'm more than willing to trade an extra 20 degrees in the summer for an extra 20 degrees in the winter.
- arbuge 13y agoHumidity is not so much of an issue in Dallas. It does get hot in summer, but it's a dry heat. You might be thinking of Houston.
- jamesbritt 13y agoMaybe. I'm comparing it to Phoenix; pretty much everyplace else feels too humid now.
- rgallo 13y agoStabile Economy. Natural resources & lessons learned from previous housing busts insulated Dallas (relatively) from the '08-'09 global meltdown.

- msitarzewski 13y agoUTD, UTA, UNT, SMU, TCU, TWU - lots of higher ed here - entry level labor for growing companies. That graphic says a lot, but it doesn't say anything about the speed at which this community is coming together. I just moved back from Boulder, and I can tell you that Dallas has every bit of the activity and passion.
- mivey00 13y agoYou know what's cooler than a $100k salary? A $100k salary with half the taxes and cost of living. Welcome to Texas!
- toomuchtodo 13y agoBut then you're in Texas. I jest of course. Coming from Illinois, I get poked at about the corruption we have. On the other hand, the legislative climate is a bit different (we don't try to take reproductive rights away from women, and we've got same-sex marriages). Caveat emptor.
