startup hub

Venture launchpad zone

A startup hub is a city or region where new technology companies concentrate, creating an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, investors, and support services.

Silicon Valley remains the archetypal startup hub, though cities like Austin, Tel Aviv, and Berlin have developed their own thriving scenes.

These hubs typically feature venture capital firms, accelerators, coworking spaces, and a culture that tolerates failure as part of the entrepreneurial process.
