Step aside, Silicon Valley, there’s a new tech hub in town.

Austin is one of the fastest growing tech towns in the US, with over 147 companies receiving almost a billion dollars in funding last year alone. It’s no surprise that giants like Facebook and Amazon have opened offices in this Texas town, and it’s home to big names like vacation rental site HomeAway and business platform BigCommerce. Hosting huge tech events like the now-infamous SXSW Interactive, Austin has proved to be a bustling hub of startup activity (with the added bonus of great music and great BBQ).
