Plenty of startup ideas, plenty of money, plenty of entrepreneurs in Atlanta. Not enough venture capital, but that's becoming less and less relevant to many classes of startups.
This is quite creditable for Atlanta. But I wouldn't say "Move over, SF". This includes all businesses, from new ice cream shops to new biotech companies. SF probably still leads if you look at tech startups.
This mixes up "startups" (leveraging, VC investment candidates) with "new small businesses". Hey, always good to see people doing the entrepreneurship thang, but terms matter. It's like the notion of a scientific "theory". Don't willfully misuse the term.
Here's a link to the original study:

"Internet publishing" was considered a low-income-potential business but "software publishing" was considered a high-income-potential business.

As a job seeker, I'd expect a city with super-high startup activity to have its /eng/ section on craigslist flooded with job ads. It isn't.<p><a href="http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eng/" rel="nofollow">http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eng/</a>
