We work with local entrepreneurs to help build the startup ecosystem here in NC. We are always looking for companies that are technically innovative and create useful products or services that are beneficial to humanity at large.
While we will consider any company with an innovative and useful product or service, we are especially focused on companies founded by women and minority entrepreneurs.
