The State of Startups
Every year since 2018, BIP Ventures has published The State of Startups in the SoutheastSM report. This deep dive into the innovation and investment ecosystem is the most comprehensive data source of its kind. The report provides longitudinal insights into the performance of key technology sectors and lists of leaders in those sectors. It also identifies top investors in the region and across its states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The first half of the State of Startups in the Southeast explains the major trends that impacted the startup ecosystem in the Southeast. The second section focuses on the startup and investment activities for each of the states in the region. Collectively, the report shows where companies are launching and growing, the problems founders are solving, and what to expect from the Innovation Economy.
The State of Startups in the Southeast report intends to equip innovators and investors to execute an informed strategy. We hope it’s useful to you.
