Seattle has long been known for inciting the country\u2019s coffee culture. But now that we\u2019re all sufficiently caffeinated, these days it\u2019s the technology scene causing a buzz. Situated well north of the traditional tech enclave known as Silicon Valley<\/a>, Seattle has come into its own as a magnet for innovative companies and a supportive community that\u2019s mission-driven to improve the status quo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seattle\u2019s recent growth trajectory looks like the Space Needle \u2014 extending boldly into the sky.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not a city to be pigeonholed, its growth represents a rainbow of industries. According to\u00a0Seattle\u2019s Office of Economic Development<\/a>\u00a0(OED), the city\u2019s key industries now span from manufacturing, maritime, life sciences, and technology to green energy, music, entertainment, and hospitality. There\u2019s just no way to put on a label on that kind of diversity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seattle\u2019s Super Sonic Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to\u00a0a 2018 report from CBRE<\/a>, no city has added more tech jobs in the last two years than Seattle. The greater Seattle area added 33,803 tech jobs in 2017 and 2016, outpacing even Silicon Valley (which came in second at 24,971 jobs added). While some of those numbers represent big firms expanding outside their HQ cities or new compelling jobs, roles and responsibilities within large corporations \u2014 the most significant area of growth is in startups and smaller businesses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Several of these startups have achieved bonafide success \u2014 particularly in developing fields such as Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI). One such success story is\u00a0Validar<\/a>, an event marketing software company. \u201cQuality data was a constant struggle,\u201d says Validar CEO Victor Kippes. \u201cSo we decided to do something about it. Fortunately, the Seattle tech scene was on the rise, so there was some excitement and experience around town. It became the perfect backdrop for our success.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The technology revolution paved the way for other startups, too.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Consider\u00a0Yapta<\/a>, for example, a travel management site that uses intelligent technology to help consumers streamline travel expenses and save money. Valerie Layman, Yapta\u2019s Chief Product & Services Officer, believes Seattle\u2019s reputation as a laidback city works in its favor: \u201cSeattle\u2019s reputation for being laidback is indicative of our willingness to collaborate and our desire to see others in the community succeed, versus the hyper-competitive edges we\u2019ve seen from small businesses in Seattle is both impressive and inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Says Enrique Ortegon, SVP of SMB Sales at Salesforce, \u201cCompanies are breaking new ground in meaningful ways. It was an easy decision for Salesforce to direct more efforts here.\u201d To that end, Salesforce hosted one of its acclaimed Growth Camp events in Seattle<\/strong><\/a> at Block 41. Startups and small businesses looking for free help, advice, and resources attended.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Higher Grounds: Escalating Performances<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Several high-growth startups are truly jolting the national scene. Leading that charge is\u00a0Groopit<\/a>, a Seattle-based software company that helps leaders engage teams outside their four walls. After twenty years at Microsoft building products used by hundreds of millions of users, Groopit Co-Founder and CEO Tammy Savage saw a void in how organizations manage indirect people.<\/p>\r\n

The importance of data<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe growth of cloud computing in Seattle has been impressive,\u201d says Savage. \u201cBut at the end of the day, all this technology needs to help companies engage their networks to tackle the hardest problems that will bring the next wave of progress.\u201d The surge of advancement can be seen in the Groopit app. It lets you manage teams outside your organization and collect the corresponding data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

That data might be a corporation identifying the on-the-ground security issues. It could also be a government asking citizens to help them understand a problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A nonprofit tracking volunteer services has always been an issue for the volunteer and the for the company they\u2019re serving. The community, public, and society want their stats to compare themselves against for self-improvement or productivity. And a company engaging key customers to expand their footprint is a must.<\/p>\r\n

A concentration of engineering talent<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another rising startup is\u00a0Dreambox Learning<\/a>, an interactive AI-based student learning tool. Lorenzo Pasqualis, Dreambox\u2019s VP of Engineering, believes the company\u2019s success stems from a combination of two factors: Seattle\u2019s willingness to think beyond what\u2019s possible with new technology, plus its rapidly increasing concentration of engineering talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seattle\u2019s savvy talent engineering business talent has the expertise and capacity along with the skills to design and build those necessary solutions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Pasqualis conveys, \u201cAt Dreambox Learning, we constantly explore new frontiers of adaptive learning technology. We design it to personalize every student\u2019s educational journey. Sure, most people see the value that technology adds to a school environment. However, they usually don\u2019t realize how rapidly evolving disciplines such as AI, machine learning, and cloud computing can increase the value students achieve from the limited time they spend using technology.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Seattle\u2019s Best: A New Breed of Empathetic Entrepreneurs<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But Seattle\u2019s emergence as a technology hotbed isn\u2019t confined to corporate applications and big data. There\u2019s a growing subset of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping others \u2014 and creating businesses to prove it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among these skilled entrepreneurs is Dani Cone, the founder of\u00a0Cone & Steiner General<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Fuel Coffee<\/a>. Cone is the chair of the Seattle Entrepreneurship Committee for the\u00a0Greater Seattle Business Association<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the largest LGBTQ and allied chamber of commerce in North America. He is passionate about equality and inclusion and believes community is what sets Seattle apart: \u201cSeattle\u2019s such a strong and vibrant city, economically and socially.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAt its roots are the people who build everything from airplanes to tech. These are people who believe that the impossible is possible, and people who believe in community. Community is what drives me each day to create spaces where ideas are shared. And, people also come together over good food and drink.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another enviable expert is Saif Hakim, Vice President and Senior Business Lender at\u00a0Craft3;<\/a>\u00a0a regional nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Craft3 extends loans to strengthen the local economies in both Oregon and Washington.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After nearly two decades in commercial banking in the Puget Sound Area, Hakim saw the discrepancies in those who are able to achieve funding.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now at Craft3, he\u2019s able to target an underserved population. This includes startups and growing businesses that are not traditionally ready for bank capital. \u201cIt just felt right to move into a more flexible area of lending,\u201d says Hakim. \u201cThe Pacific-Northwest is inspiring in so many ways. Craft3 is really focused on doing everything we can to make this a vibrant, growing area of the country.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fueling Up: Seattle Runs on Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Certainly, Seattle may be famous for rainy days and coffee, but today\u2019s entrepreneurs are working hard to change that. Is Seattle posed to be the country\u2019s new Tech Town? All signs point to the affirmative.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
