Inc.com has presented a list of what it considers the best places in the country to start a business. Austin, Texas tops the list, with Richmond, Virginia at 35 and Virginia Beach coming in at number 49.
Inc.com looked at seven metrics to compile the list: rate of entrepreneurship, high-growth company density, population growth, net business creation, wage growth, job creation, and early-stage funding deals.
About Virginia Beach, the writers say:
Maritime logistics and tourism are big as well, but business leaders are eager to diversify the economy. 757 Angels is a major player in the percolating startup ecosystem, investing in firms like Embody (cutting-edge treatment provider for tendon and ligament injuries) and Psionic (creator of lidar technology for autonomous vehicles). Reaktor Business Technology Innovation Center, which recently raised nearly $10 million, is busy nurturing aerospace startups. And colleges are doing their part: Old Dominion started an entrepreneurship program two years ago, and an incubator is coming soon to Norfolk State.
