Philadelphia Listed One of the Best Places to Launch
by John Cappiello on October 20, 2009
While Philadelphia may be lagging behind in entrepreneurship, apparently it’s not such a bad environment to launch your startup. CNN Money and (once again) the Kauffman foundation teamed up to “find the 50 most business-friendly communities in America” and Philadelphia made the cut.
It seems a few of the reasons were that there is an above average amount of young college graduates and an extremely large number of small businesses in the area (presumably to work with). Taxes were factored in, and apparently overall, despite our business tax, we were still somewhere in the top 30 or so it seems. There’s some more information also on how they came to their conclusions.
