startup scene

Tech founder world

The startup scene refers to the ecosystem of new technology companies, entrepreneurs, investors, and supporting institutions in a particular area.

It encompasses not just the businesses themselves but the culture, networking events, coworking spaces, and venture capital that sustain them: Austin's startup scene has exploded in the last decade.

The term often carries connotations of innovation, disruption, and youthful energy—along with hype and precarity.
