Entrepreneurs all around the United States are renowned for contributing to their communities and economy, whether it be through innovation, job creation, or even social change. This significance is also felt in places where rural entrepreneurs launch their enterprises.
"Rural communities are not a monolith," writes entrepreneur Ina Metzer, co-founder of RuralRISE. Entrepreneurs in these locations boost their rural communities and reflect their peers, Metzer added.
