The race to find the next Silicon Valley continues to meander in all sorts of directions across the country.
The latest leader in potential cities? St. Louis.
As Ben Casselman of FiveThirtyEight reported this week, the Midwestern city has seen a heavy increase in startup businesses, despite the fact that the country as a whole has seen a dip in the trend. In 2014, the national startup rate fell 8 percent. In fact, that same year, Gallup noted that there was a decline in new businesses, as startups struggled to find financing for their ventures.
