We've worked our way through a few cheesecakes and couldnt be happier with our latest partnership with Eli's Cheesecake. We had been doing our best to reach out to brands to help partner on educational or childrens initiatives in order to offset the cost of our Mrs. Judd's Games app development.

When you think of areas with a large amount of tech companies, obviously Silicon Valley and L.A stand out, but surprising new cities are emerging as technological hot spots. From Amsterdam to India, new and exciting cities are where tomorrow’s technological advances seem to be coming from.

Two other places come to mind as burgeoning tech hubs: Chile and China

Chile has really backed a fully realized entrepreneurial initiative. Startup Chile puts 80+ companies through their government backed accelerator every year with a $40K and doesn't take any equity. This program is available for all startups, not just Chilean ones, with no obligation to incorporate in Chile. Backing this with their low 20% (last time I checked) corporate tax rate, absolutely fantastic IP laws for startups, and a host of other factors, and they have an entrepreneurial ecosystem that is turning into something really worthwhile.

China's technology business sector is straight-up blowing up like it's nobody's business. Many accelerators, an incredible wealth of skilled developers/technologists, and a healthy (but still maturing) investment culture have all helped create this. The barriers to entry are really incorporating in China itself, it's a high bureaucracy country with a tax-rate comparable to that of the U.S. However, many entrepreneurs have taken to incorporating in Hong Kong, which is arguably the most business friendly country on the planet, and doing business in mainland China due to the friendly business relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland. The reason it might be off map is that, with a population above 1.4 billion and well over a billion smart phones, startups have an incredible local market and are less inclined to look abroad.

Maybe you have attended a zillion Chicago startup events like BIC Launch, TechCocktail, or Technori Pitch to network and learn about the community. And maybe you found yourself gawking at startup teams that came dressed for the event wearing their company’s swag and thought, “That’s awesome! How do I get shirts for my startup?”
