The city of Tampa certainly lacks the venture capital of Silicon Valley, but it's booming with small business spirit.
This southern city is fast-becoming a startup hub, with its relative affordability and vibrant tech sector. Companies like WuFoo and EventJoy got their start in the Tampa Bay area, which were both ultimately acquired (the former for $35 million.)
With a population of around 400,000, Tampa may be tiny in comparison to its northern counterparts, but the sales are anything but. In 2014, the 10, fastest-growing companies based in Tampa on the Inc. 5000 raked in a collective $91.2 million in revenue.
