Editor’s note: ExitEvent and WRALTechWire are cooperating in presenting news about the region’s entrepreneurial sector. Today, ExitEvent Editor Laura Baverman recaps Wednesday’s “Entrepreneurs’ Series” venture capital event.
RALEIGH, N.C. – If you think there’s no capital in this region, then you should have attended Wednesday’s Entrepreneurs’ Series, where 10 national, regional and local investors made it pretty clear they’re looking for deals in the Triangle.
Bull City Venture Partners hosts the series several times a year, and about 150 people showed up at Brier Creek Country Club to hear a fireside chat between ChannelAdvisor CEO and co-founder Scot Wingo and Andreessen Horowitz managing partner Scott Kupor, a panel of regional venture capitalists hosted by Bull City’s David Jones and a panel of angel investors probed by ReverbNation co-founder (and an angel investor himself) Jed Carlson.
