The Raleigh-Durham area is one of the top 20 hubs for tech startups in the country, according to recent data from the Progressive Policy Institute and TechNet.
Out of the top 35 metro areas for tech startups, Raleigh-Durham was named the 17th best hub—beating the neighboring city of Charlotte, which was named the 29th.
The Institute used the Metro Startup Economy Index—a normalized count of job listings in the area that include the word “startup"—to rank the hubs in two lists. The “tech hubs” list included the top 10 startup focal points like San Francisco and New York, and the “next in tech” list included the cities ranked 11 to 35.
