When I travel the country, people always ask me about Austin. Whether it's the iconic bang and bust of the first wave of Internet start-ups or the resounding resilience and outright refusal to stay down for the count, Austin has become synonymous with entrepreneurship. Who needs Silicon Valley when everything you could possibly want is right here surrounded by live music, great coffee and a mostly free wifi. The "vibe" is electric and the people, many if not all aren't even from here, come in wave after wave with ideas abuzz and dollar signs in their eyes.
