Hot tech startups in Austin to watch
A nickname that Austin has gotten over the years is Silicon Hills. This is due to the incredible amount of tech companies within the Austin metropolitan area. If Google, IBM, Apple Inc., Amazon and eBay weren’t enough to sell you on the idea, the Austin suburb, Round Rock, is home to Dell’s worldwide headquarters.
The Tech Tribune compiled a list of this year’s top ten hottest tech startups in Austin, and we thought we’d share the first three with you so that you can get a feel for what up-and-coming tech companies there are in Austin if you are considering making the move.
