Why this page exists - and how to read it

Startups don't grow in a vacuum - this is the support layer around them: who funds, who accelerates, who incubates, and which research institutions anchor each region. Use it to see whether the support exists where the founding activity is.

Investors: See who else invests where you do - and toggle to the startup layer to find states with founders but little local capital.
Founders & operators: Shortlist investors and incubators by focus, stage and state - start with who is actually active near you.
Corporate & R&D: Ranked institutions are partnership and hiring targets - check who leads near your sites.
Policy & TTO: Compare the ecosystem map with the startup layer to spot states where the support layer lags founding activity.
