I've heard a lot of good things about the Austin startup scene. I wonder if I can convince my wife to move down there for the summer ;-)

Austin has a great tech scene in general, and the city is great in so many other ways. Come on down. :-)

We moved to Austin for the summer to participate in Capital Factory. It was well worth it! Austin's a great place and the local business community is focused on helping entrepreneurs succeed. @BrookeBF from @RecycleMatch

The mentors of Capital Factory want you to succeed and they commit great amounts of time and energy to insure that by the end of the program, you are ready to present your business to the world, investors and the press. Add to that weekly expert speakers on a wide range of topics and access to some of the best support systems, software and connections. And although the program does come to an end, these successful entrepreneurs are now a part of your network! Not to mention Austin's startup scene is dynamic, spirited and supportive....Austin, as a city, just kicks ass. Ask some of the out-of-state teams that have participated and never left!
