| | MARCH 2022 6EDITOR'S DESKTexas entrepreneurs past and present have a lot of accomplishments to be proud of. Companies in Texas helped create the personal computing industry in the 1980s through industry leaders like Dell, Tandem, Compaq, and Texas Instruments. Also, home to the Johnson Space Center Mission Control, Texas boasts a technology legacy of successes beyond the stratosphere; as well as holds the rare good fortune to claim a whopping 50+ Fortune 500 Companies that call Texas home.Excitement for Texas startups has been growing with a business-friendly environment, rapidly expanding population, and workforce quality. Currently, Texas ranks highly for business formation in numerous major publications, from Forbes to Chief Executive Magazine. Firms and entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. have relocated to Texas to take advantage of the favorable business atmosphere. While Richardson, TX has historically been strong in telecommunications and microelectronics, the companies in Austin are seeking to brand the region as the Silicon Hills. Responsively, venture capital firms have begun investing more money in these Texas-based startups, which has resulted in expanding local tech startup interest and drawing more new businesses to Texas' tech scene.Contributing to such monumental success, Texas has become a hotbed for pioneering technologies, profitable business opportunities, and high investment returns, capable of swiftly translating market demands into organizational action accounts. In this edition of StartupCity, we take a look at the entire tech landscape in Texas, exploring tech companies and startups throughout Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas. While this is by no means a comprehensive list for any of these cities, it is an introduction to the numerous tech startups in Texas and why the Lone Star state might just be the place.
