The 24 high-potential startups that will compete in Launch Pad PITCH come from eight cities, including Birmingham, AL; Buffalo, NY; Charleston, SC; Nashville, TN; New Orleans, LA; Pittsburgh, PA; Raleigh-Durham, NC; and San Antonio, CA. These eight cities represent some of the United States’s fast-growing and often-underrecognized startup ecosystems. Indeed, most have been stops along one of Steve Case’s Rise of the Rest tours. “I don’t think we’ll remain the most innovative and entrepreneurial nation unless we’re building and investing in entrepreneurial communities across the country, not just in a few areas,” said Case in a statement.
