Huffpost: Startup Leadership Lessons From Austin, Texas

By Vala Afshar

"Austin Texas is the #1 city for startups, according to the Kaufman Foundation, based on new business activity in 40 of the largest metro regions nationally. Austin also scored No. 1 in the CNBC Metro 20: America’s Best Places to Start a Business. Compared to New York City, Boston, or Silicon Valley, Austin offers lower taxes and cost of living.

Recently, Ray Wang and I visited Austin and spoke with several startup executives to learn more about the Austin tech scene. We invited three extraordinary business leaders to our weekly show DisrupTV and asked each of them to provide leadership advice to startup founders on building and growing companies in one of the hottest, and most competitive, technology centers in the country."
