As a native Texan, I’m cautiously optimistic. All of these articles are about established unicorn tech firms moving. It’d be far more of an interesting trend if Austin had a surge in brand new early stage startups that became unicorn companies, and that were built in Austin from day 1.

But, I guess the new startups will follow after more big firms relocate, as some devs will eventually leave to work on their own projects.

One think to look at which may be more closely related to newer startups is that several VC firms have started to move to Texas. It could definitely drive the growth of more small startups WITHIN Texas.
