Giants Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs dominate the metropolis. But is there now room for entrepreneurs? The Hong Kong social enterprise scene is just getting going--and so is the startup movement. A cofounder of StartupsHK and BootHK, Jonathan Buford, tells Fast Company that it all comes down to one word: community. With the lure of the safety and comforts that come with a high- paying job with one of Hong Kong's many financial industry leaders, recent graduates almost never consider joining an early- stage startup right after graduating. That combined with family pressure has made for a tough climate for entrepreneurs in Hong Kong. And those who do break out of the mold can't find people to hire for their startups. But the climate is slowly changing, thanks to groups like StartupsHK and BootHK, which provide social support for budding entrepreneurs.

For those who think that's a sports term, it isn't. At least not in this context. Here, riding through dry California lowlands at 60 miles an hour on a bus packed with a couple dozen hard-core tech entrepreneurs, it means just one thing: minimum viable product. I'm on one of two Startup Bus coaches that left San Francisco early Tuesday bound for the South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) festival in Austin, Texas.
