SynopsisLong considered the ideal environment for tech startup companies, Silicon Valley has recently become a victim of its own success, an expensive, crowded, hypercompetitive place that no longer works for all entrepreneurs. In Screw the Valley, author Tim Sprinkle takes readers on a cross-country road trip, hitting many of the new tech hotspots: Austin, Texas; the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina; Las Vegas, Nevada; New York City, New York; Detroit, Michigan; Boulder, Colorado; and Kansas City, Missouri. In a tour of these seven new technology cities, Sprinkle encourages entrepreneurs to think outside the Silicon Valley box and explore the modern startup culture that's springing up all over the country. With an up-close look at the major players in each city, how the local culture is conducive to the burgeoning tech industry, and what each city is bringing to the table in new innovations and inventions., The most exciting high-tech startups are escaping the expensive and inbred environment of Silicon Valley. Welcome to the future. Entrepreneurs know they must embrace innovation to excel--starting with where they locate their new venture. Fortunately, budding companies seeking fertile ground have more options today than ever before. Screw the Valley calls on today's entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners to forget California and explore other options across the country--cities that offer more room to breathe, easier access to funding and talented workers, fewer heads to butt, and less money down the drain. Timothy Sprinkle visits seven areas that offer a superior landscape for tech startups: Detroit New York City Las Vegas Austin Kansas City Raleigh-Durham Boulder Sprinkle gives readers a window into the startup potential in each city, detailing which industries are thriving where, and highlighting the unique appeal and character of each location. Bright ideas are not geographically limited, and innovation is happening every day in cities all over the country. It's time to think outside the box when it comes to startup location. It's time to say Screw the Valley .
