Zach Robbins, cofounder of marketing startup Leadnomics, took to Forbes to explain the advantages of setting up shop in a non-traditional tech scene.
He wrote:

Young companies in secondary markets also tend to have stronger support from their surrounding community. In an emerging city, local startups are not a dime a dozen, and the prospect of job creation makes them part of a larger movement connected to the city, so the community wants to see them succeed.
Leadnomics’ office is located in Philly’s University City neighborhood, and we can literally see the growth of Philly’s talent pipeline being built around us. Universities and the city government are investing in programs and institutions to connect students to local startups and early stage capital. The city wants people to be able to stay here and be successful, and we get to be a part of that growing momentum.
