Leadership Polls

Each quarter, NC TECH polls several hundred leaders in the state's tech sector (comprised of the NC TECH Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, Tech CEOs, and site leaders of major non-headquartered tech hubs). A live web briefing on the results is held shortly after each poll is conducted.

These polls seek to capture business sentiment from leaders in the tech community regarding business environment, hiring trends, and more.

This polling is made possible through the support of Stearns Financial Group. Dennis Stearns, the firm's founder, joins NC TECH CEO Brooks Raiford during these live briefings to discuss the results and trends.
