Also known as the Music City, Nashville has a stream of live music sessions all over the town even in places like the Airport bars. It hosts prestigious musical events such as the Bonnaro Music Festival as well as the Country Music Hall of Fame. Many popular and highly reputed music producers and record label companies also have their offices in the Music Row- a place located in the downtown of the city. However, the reasons for Nashville being the perfect site for startup do not just depend on its cultural legacy or its history with music, they are way beyond that. The most important reason out of this is the fact that there is no state income tax in Tennessee (though there are some hall taxes on dividends and interest). For entrepreneurs who want to start or have started a business and are low on cash this is a very attractive incentive.
Nashville is also said to be the center of the U.S. healthcare industry, providing housing to some of the largest health-care businesses in the U.S such as St Thomas Health Services etc. And these companies are the ones that provide mentorship and capital to entrepreneurs for their investment ventures. So it is can be said that this city is a hub for health care innovation.
