Top Regions for Entrepreneurship

This article from Inc.com reports that... "The top regions for entrepreneurship in the U.S are in the "non-California" regions of the western part of the country, with Colorado scoring the highest for innovation and entrepreneurship, according to research sponsored by the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Advocacy and the Edward Lowe Foundation." "Fort Collins, Colo; Raleigh, N.C.; Provo, Utah; Austin, Texas; and Boston, Mass., are the top five most innovative-entrepreneurial regions in the U.S., according to the Innovation-Entrepreneurship NEXUS: A National Assessment of Entrepreneurship and Regional Economic Growth and Development report, which measured innovation and entrepreneurship for 394 labor market areas across the U.S." It is interesting to see where these hotspots of entreprenuership are springing up espically when we think back to the padded pockets of VC's--with many of them in California. I think this study goes along with the best cities to do business (see my earlier post) I'm interested in watching to see how business trends in the Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Montana. It looks as though trends are spiking based on these studies.. ~~be bold
