Internet and Tech Companies in Charlottesville?

by Jim on February 12, 2010

First Wednesdays wants to hear from you.

If you are part of an internet company, design / development firm or startup project in Charlottesville, we’d love to hear from you. The goal of First Wednesdays is to grow the internet / startup community in town by highlighting companies and hosting networking events. Help us find you!

The Charlottesville is consistently rated as a great place to live, and is a destination location for buyers and families and people who choose to live in Charlottesville* and work elsewhere – whether in Los Angeles, Denver, New York … and live in Charlottesville.

I’m curious to learn just how many internet and tech firms there are in the Charlottesville area. HighTech Cville, which seems to be a site by OpenSource Connections, lists 405 organizations in Charlottesville.

* Usually Charlottesville/Albemarle.

You’re quite welcome. I think we all benefit from the collective success of our tech firms/industries/people.

Hi!
I ran through your post and stopeed by a sentence that a Charlottesville is a great place to live in when you work in L.A. Maybe it’s because of my Canadian point of view, but I personally checked where your town is and I really don’t understand what you meant with that. Maybe it was just a kind of “in-joke” I didn’t understand.
Anyway, take care,
Julie

Julie -

No “in-joke” at all. Charlottesville is regarded as a great place to live – by many, many publications – and our being a great place to live has led to people choosing to live here and telecommute to their jobs that are elsewhere.

Glad you found HighTechCville useful! Love to hear any feedback on how it could be more useful, its mostly a research project for me in search and clustering of data. And networking here in town ;-)
