There’s been lots of local conversation about how to unite a group of people with a common interest — those who create technology startups. There are great resources like the Rice Alliance, ProductCamp, Texchange, the Austin Technology Council, and many many more. If you’re not familiar with the grassroots efforts of the folks behind the Startup District, you should be. They just secured a new co-working space, so you’ll be hearing more about that soon (congrats guys).
But if you want to see pushpins on a map for Austin technology companies, check out Startup Warrior which is a mashup of Crunchbase and Google Maps. There’s definitely a big downtown concentration, plus another concentration around the Breaker/Metric area. Browse for yourself. Here’s a screenshot we took.
It would be great to see the Austin Emerging 100 mapped onto Google Maps. If you’re company is not in here, then get yourself into CrunchBase and with the next weekly update, you will be.
We’re really excited about the space. Everyone’s been great so far. Thanks for the shoutout and the congrats.

Thanks for the info. I just put my company, http://www.babblesoft.com, onto Crunchbase. Don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t approve it.
