Each city is evaluated in detail in the magazine's August issue, demonstrating how it embodies core entrepreneur-friendly characteristics--whether because of a do-it-yourself ethic, government policies, a byproduct of rapid growth, or a contagious energy in the small-business community that seems to have no limits. Entrepreneur's look at startup-friendly cities addresses issues such as government incentives, population growth, affordability of commercial rents, and openness to new ideas. With economic uncertainties leading more and more people to choose to work for themselves, these issues have come to the forefront of business owners' minds.
Cities covered in the August feature article, along with success stories from each, include:
-- Las Vegas, Nevada
-- Portland, Oregon
-- Orlando, Florida
-- San Diego, California
-- Phoenix, Arizona
-- Chapel Hill, North Carolina
-- Atlanta, Georgia
-- Madison, Wisconsin
-- Youngstown, Ohio
