San Francisco is the heart of the Silicon valley coworking space and startup culture. Located in the northern part of California on a beautiful peninsula, San Fran is one of the finest cities in the country and deserves its reputation as being one of the most prominent cities for tech startups. San Francisco had its first population jump in the mid 1800s when gold was discovered there, and in subsequent years became a leading city for transportation, industry, and culture. Biotech, electronics and tourism are the city’s biggest industries today, and it is also widely regarded as the banking and financial center of the West. Companies with office space in San Francisco enjoy a prestige that automatically comes with their lease. There are more affordable office rentals in Oakland, just 10 miles away.
