Do you live in Nashville? Nashville is progressing faster than Knoxville, but far slower than Chattanooga. It's a complex situation, and I don't think you can boil it down to comparing the churches. As far as being a "sleeper tech city", I've yet to see any indication that Nashville is on the verge of a high tech or startup renaissance. If you want to see a traditionally conservative, "sleeper tech city" look no further than Greenville, SC. Greenville has recently (in the last 7 years) entered a rapid development phase with numerous tech startups, co-work facilities, etc. Have you ever considered moving to Greenville? I'd move to Greenville over Nashville any day. OR I could start a company in Maynardville - farming as a service or some such thing. |

"If you want to see a traditionally conservative, "sleeper tech city" look no further than Greenville, SC. Greenville has recently (in the last 7 years) entered a rapid development phase with numerous tech startups, co-work facilities, etc"
Nashville has checked all of those boxes.
Did I mentioned we have an incredibly active developer community here? Its not all big healthcare companies running Java & .Net, for instance, there is Emma (http://myemma.com/), Stratasan (http://www.stratasan.com/), The Skillery (http://www.theskillery.com/), Wannadao (https://www.wannadolocal.com/), inquicker (https://inquicker.com/), Moontoast (http://www.moontoast.com/), etc
We have events like coderfaire, hacknashville, hack-a-day, nashville code brigade, nashville user group leadership (group), etc
We also have very active user groups for functional programming, dynamic languages, ruby, php, python, javascript, flash, etc
We have tons of co-working locations, not going to name them all.
Not to mention that a ton of large SV types have remote workers here (I'm looking at you Github, SurveyMonkey, etc).
We have an incubator (http://jumpstartfoundry.com/).
What makes a city a "sleeper tech giant"?
