Until recently I lived in San Antonio, TX and over the last year the startup community there has really begun taking off.

Rackspace is aggressively working to build a community there through efforts like Geekdom[1] and 3 Day Startup[2]. Two of the universities (TU and UTSA) are working with Geekdom to build entrepreneurship programs and companies are starting to come out of these efforts.

SA already has a tech community (Rackspace, Denim Group, the massive development groups at USAA, HEB and cyberdefense firms that are doing really cool but unseen stuff) and Geekdom has become the catalyst to draw them all together.

I was there this weekend for 3DS and I'm about to move back to work on some ideas with people I met over the last 72 hours.
