Why Raleigh Beats Out Greensboro Every Time

You look at Raleigh and you'll find Meetup groups like the RTP Inventor's Guild but in Greensboro it's the Piedmont Triad Aspiring Entrepreneurs. Raleigh inspires inventors, Greensboro only inspires entrepreneurs.

Not that there's anything wrong with entrepreneurs but it's inventors, not entrepreneurs who come up with the new ideas, the new technologies that new industries are built upon. And with new industries come jobs, economic prosperity and a growing tax base. Yes, sometimes inventors and entrepreneurs are one in the same but as long as Greensboro continues to maintain a culture that encourages entrepreneurs without encouraging inventors we will always remain behind.

It's like playing a hand of Blackjack with only one card.
