Wall Street Journal cites Chattanooga as tech, VC hub

A story in The Wall Street Journal on Friday called out Chattanooga for its efforts in finding an identity as a technology and venture capital hub.

The story cites Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly as saying that the city’s ultra-fast internet and quality of life is paying off in the age of remote working.

Kelly said that Chattanooga has benefited from a rebalancing in the tech industry from major coastal metros to cities across the country.

Cameron Doody, a co-founder of Brickyard, an early-stage venture fund based in Chattanooga, is quoted in the story as noting that the city has caught some of the tech overflow.
