small town

When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg first started to get the website off the ground in 2004, he moved from Boston to — where else? — Silicon Valley.

Tale as old as time. Startup founders have been moving to the San Francisco Bay area since at least the 1970s.

Today, it’s a huge hub for technology. But ironically, the same technology that’s made the area boom means you don’t actually have to move your business to succeed.

A small town can offer all sorts of advantages for an entrepreneur. In many cases, it’s even better than the big city.
