I've been covering tech in #Columbus since mid-2010. The industry has grown so much locally, and so much is on the horizon. So it's time to zoom out a bit and ask: Is Central Ohio a true tech hub yet? https://bizj.us/1qmd2f

Our non-profit tech and startup community wouldn't show up in the typical economic and business metrics but it's the best in the country. Tech Community Coalition recently did a count and we've 60+ groups (conferences, monthly groups, professional organizations) that meet regularly. This is part of our secret sauce and part of what makes us the hub that we are. #cbustech is where it's at.

Carrie Ghose - absolutely we have become a leading tech hub. A microcosm example: Our Central Ohio market leads our company in client activity nearly every year now. I get people from across the company asking me why - first answer is 'well, it is great market for a technology firm to be in'...then I get the eyeroll and push back 'But it is Columbus..it is not like you are Denver or Boston'...and I respond 'Yes! Exactly! We are a better tech community than those big markets' and lot of it has to do with the people that are responding to your post. Ben Blanquera, Chris Berry, Warner Moore
