It's easy: don't. I am struggling with the same thing up here in Alberta and it's just impossible to make any headway against an electorate that continues to vote this way. It's not worth your time and it's better to focus on hiring out of state/province or moving.

EDIT: fellow Albertans feel free to email me on my profile (lots of us here!)

Relocating before hiring full-time employees is probably my best move.

I've got a kid, though, so I'm currently trying to assess where we can afford to move that inspires confidence that we can really build something there. If we have to go, I don't wanna move again before she goes to college in a decade.

Durham-Raleigh is young, lots of tech there, and real estate isn’t insane. You’ll also be close to some great incubators and Angel investors.

Honest question: is North Carolina really any different than Tennessee, especially looking out over the next 10 years? From my U.S. Midwest perspective they appear to have very similar values, sentiments and politics. I'd be afraid that I'd be uprooting my family just to jump from one frying pan to another.

Take a trip and visit it. Rural is rural and it’ll be similar, I imagine. But Raleigh-Durham has a much younger and more liberal feel to it. I have never seen hipsters like NC hipsters :)

Whether this will be comfortable for you or not I can’t say. But I can tell you that it’s worth checking out.

Real estate has been getting pretty frothy there for a while.

Yeah, Alberta being Alberta makes it hard to bring people here who didn't grow up here.

Idk, kenney has screwed things up so badly that the next election might be a real competition.
