One thing is clear: public data continues to be a goldmine for understanding these trends. For five of our sources, we turned to publicly available government data (including the Census, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Small Business Administration and the US Patent & Trademark Office). These datasets often highlight the strengths of smaller Midwest tech ecosystems. For example, while college towns may not score as highly as the perennial powerhouses on metrics like the Number of Startups, they excel in categories such as Educated Workforce, Labor Costs, and Cost of Living. Because of this, while they may not lead in startup volume, they often perform well in metrics like Startup Density. Major hubs can boast sheer quantity, but smaller ecosystems create environments where high concentrations (or should we say “corncentrations”? 🌽) of quality startup activity can flourish, and those environmental factors get quantified and tracked in government datasets. If you haven’t explored these public datasets lately, you’re missing out on a treasure trove of insights! Did you miss yesterday's #BestofMidwest2024 newsletter? Make sure you don't miss out on the action. Get subscribed here: https://lnkd.in/guz53kTZ
