Why Greenville?

Upstate Business Journal
To answer our own question, Greenville is the perfect place to start a business since the startup technology ecosystem is beginning to thrive. It may not seem like much compared to cities like Silicon Valley...but isn’t that the point? People want to get involved before the market becomes oversaturated.

Greenville is already home to organizations like NEXT, which focuses on helping high-impact technology companies grow *here*, we have seen an influx of coworking spaces and we’re the home of the coding school, The Iron Yard.

Networking events like Tech After 5 and the new 1 Million Cups provide opportunities to get to know the approachable members and leaders of the technology and business community.

Oh yeah, and we’ve gotten pretty popular lately. Think of the recruiting opportunities as students graduate from nearby universities and most want to get jobs and stay here (because who wouldn’t?)
