Survey: Minneapolis #3 U.S. City For Entrepreneurs And Start-Ups in 2018
July 09, 2018
Business.org has Minneapolis placing #3 on their Top 10 US Cities for Entrepreneurs and Start-Ups in 2018.
Yes… #3.
“Up north, Minneapolis (along with its Twin City, St. Paul) boasts similar population age, education, and overall affordability numbers to Austin, if not quite the same cultural cachet. The real story here is Minneapolis’s start-up growth—a remarkable 121.3%, the highest of our top 10. In contrast to the state’s inexpensive cost of living, Minnesota’s tech pay is almost twice as high as the average state wage.”
That’s a short and sweet highlight of why one should consider doing tech in Minneapolis and St Paul and click for my An Intro To The Minnesota Startup And Tech Scene to learn more about what is going on in Minneapolis, St Paul, Minnesota and the Midwest.
Here is the Top 10:
- San Francisco, CA
- Austin, TX
- Minneapolis, MN
- San Jose, CA
- Columbus, OH
- Nashville, TN
- Seattle, WA
- Boston, MA
- Portland, OR
- Denver, CO
The criteria for this list:
- Young adult dwellers
- Higher education
- Local employment
- Income vs rent
- Start-up surges
I’m not a fan that the demographics are focused on those 25-34 years of age. I say that because… what about the rest of us? I get why the do and because we rank high I’ll let it go
One more objection… why did they use a photo of Minneapolis in the winter? It’s summer and we should have a photo of summer in the city with lakes, rooftop decks and patios. Or the same photo without all the white stuff.
