Are you a small business owner? Are you an entrepreneur looking to take your new idea to a new level? Are you looking for Austin Office Space?
If you’ve been dreaming about starting a new business in Austin, now is the time to commit.
According to an article that the Austin Business Journal sent out today, Austin has been picked to be part of an eight-city series of roundtable discussions for federal officials to gather information from entrepreneurs on how to improve the nation’s start-up environment.
Startup America is a coordinated public/private effort that brings together an alliance of the country’s most innovative entrepreneurs, corporations, universities, foundations, and other leaders, working in concert with a wide range of federal agencies to dramatically increase the prevalence and success of America’s entrepreneurs. Startup America is an important element of President Obama’s overall innovation strategy.

We have a city full of bright, intelligent entrepreneurs and it’s exciting that we get to be part of Startup America.
Here are some of the goals they list for the initiative: • Expand access to capital for high-growth startups throughout the country; • Expand entrepreneurship education and mentorship programs that empower more Americans not just to get a job, but to create jobs; • Strengthen commercialization of the about $148 billion in annual federally-funded research and development, which can generate innovative startups and entirely new industries; • Identify and remove unnecessary barriers to high-growth startups; and • Expand collaborations between large companies and startups.
If you’re a local Austin business owner looking to start your own business in Austin, it looks like there’s going to be support from our nation’s President to get you started. Austin is the perfect place to find office space for rent or lease and it caters to entrepreneurs by offering small business resources, venture capital and funding, and countless seminars and conferences that are focused on making sure entrepreneurs in Austin succeed.
