6. Santa Barbara, California

This idyllic coastal town is nicknamed Silicon Beach, and for good reason. Several recent Santa Barbara businesses have attracted millions in funding, and local entrepreneurs show no sign of slowing down. Well-known companies like Lynda, Transphorm, Citrix, ProCore and Sonos either got their start in Santa Barbara or currently call the city home.

UC Santa Barbara has a high-quality computer science program that feeds talent into local startups, and organizations like The Sandbox Santa Barbara and StartupSB help new businesses in the area grow, connect and thrive. And let’s not forget the fact that Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and locals here know a thing or two about work-life balance.
