I personally think there is a decent hub forming in the DC Metro Area, especially related to policy, non-profits, law, etc.

Not especially Portland, but there is a small community.

The scene here mostly is dominated by Intel, Nike, etc. and a handful of satellite offices from other big companies (eBay, Amazon, New Relic, etc.) I think in 5-10 years it'll get there, though. Tech is increasing rapidly as a percentage of the Portland economy.

Please also add the niche(s) if the hub is specific for one or more niches, instead of a general hub.

Boston, NYC, Austin in the US.

Portland Or and Northern New England (North of Boston, NH, Vermont, Southern Maine) might just be part of the Boston hub but if it's separate is seeing a ton of startup's.

Incredibly biased because I work at a start-up in Atlanta, but especially in the FinTech space there is a strong community here.

Pittsburgh, PA - niche hub for AI, ML and Robotics. Slowly becoming a more general startup hub as well.
