New York, Chicago, Los Angeles — and then Austin: the city map of US growth vendors

City-level headquarters data across The Wall’s index puts New York first at 105 firms, with Austin, Denver, and Miami ranking alongside metros several times their size.

At the city level, the headquarters data in The Wall's index ranks the US growth-vendor market like this:

City	Listings
New York, NY	105
Chicago, IL	73
Los Angeles, CA	63
San Francisco, CA	53
Austin, TX	48
Atlanta, GA	40
Denver, CO	40
Miami, FL	33
San Diego, CA	31
Boston, MA	25
Dallas, TX	25
Seattle, WA	25

The top three are the expected media-and-advertising capitals. The mid-table is where the market has moved: Austin's 48 firms rank it fifth, ahead of Atlanta; Denver ties Atlanta at 40; Miami's 33 puts it ahead of Boston, Dallas, and Seattle. Within California, the market splits across three cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego together hold 147 of the state's 308 listings, with the balance distributed across smaller metros.

Reading the city map

As with the state-level data, headquarters city is a supply-side fact — virtually every firm in the index sells nationally. The mid-table pattern is still informative: growth-services firms have followed talent migration into Austin, Denver, and Miami, and buyers who last built a vendor shortlist a decade ago are drawing from a map that no longer exists.
