I know I would. There\u2019s nothing better than being the boss of a successful company. But which is the best place to launch a startup? If you\u2019re thinking only about San Francisco or New York, you\u2019re limiting yourself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At least that\u2019s what Entrepreneur believes. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/slideshow\/248148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">an article<\/a> published earlier this month on the magazine\u2019s website, places like Salt Lake City, Nashville, Kansas City or even Baltimore can provide you with the infrastructure and skilled work forces that can match more established locations, but at a fraction of the cost of living and with less stress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Baltimore is number two on the list, following Salt Lake, but the numbers published in the article report that it beats Utah\u2019s capital in all but one category: unemployment. Salt Lake\u2019s unemployment rate is 3.5 percent, while Baltimore\u2019s is 5.7 percent. In spite of this, Charm City has a larger population (2.7 million), a larger median household income ($68,455), a lower median home price ($223,100) as well as a larger percentage of college graduates (36 percent).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Entrepreneur<\/a>, Baltimore is best for education. The city, which has the third-highest spending per pupil rate on an annual basis out of all the large U.S. school systems by enrollment, is home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jhu.edu\/\" >Johns Hopkins University<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com\/best-graduate-schools\/top-education-schools\/edu-rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">named the best graduate school for studying education<\/a> by\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/a><em>.<\/em>\u00a0Baltimore regularly plays host to events to connect entrepreneurs with educators, and has now turned into a hub of education-focused companies, luring ed-tech startups such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citelighter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Citelighter<\/a>. Additionally, Baltimore teachers are described as entrepreneur-friendly, willing to test out new\u00a0tech and ideas in classrooms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you think?
