San Antonio ranked No. 14 on the company's Top 14 Entrepreneurial Cities for Small Business list, which was based on cities' strategic geographic locations, number of growth industries and favorable business climates. New York topped the ranking.
San Antonio landed on the list thanks to programs including Launch SA and the city’s Economic Development Incentive Fund (EDIF). Launch SA operates as a small business resource, providing guidance on anything from ideation to marketing, while EDIF helps startups find grants and loans.
