Why Atlanta is a great place for the US HQ of a South African IT company
Yes, I know, most IT companies want to be in the Valley, that is, Silicon Valley. I would however suggest you seriously consider Atlanta as an alternative. If you are definitely the next Google, then yes, you have to be in the Valley. Ask Vinny and Yola :-). Most IT companies, however, don’t have to be in the Valley.Here are a few reasons to set up your US HQ in Atlanta:
- Atlanta has one of the best airports in the world with direct flights (on Delta) to Jo’burg.
- Very low cost of living compared to most large US city, especially San Francisco.
- Great time zone overlap with South Africa.
- Great IT community: Techlinks, TAG, GATech, and atdc.
- HQ for many Fortune 500 companies including: Coca-Cola, Home Depot, UPS, and Aflac.
