Six startups, six industries and endless possibilities for the future.

That was the kind of optimistic energy exuding from a selection of founders at “Founding the Future Of…,” a Moogfest program hosted last Friday by ExitEvent’s editor, Laura Baverman. Their companies couldn’t have been more different, but there was one common ground uniting them—a home base in the Triangle. 

[Presenting were BioMason, TransLoc, Designbox, Impulsonic, Spoonflower, Neuro+.]

Innovators from all over the world have gravitated to this region to make businesses out of their ideas, and the resulting startups are doing as cutting edge of innovation as what happens in Silicon Valley, Boston or in global startup hubs. ExitEvent chose these six founders because they epitomize the trend. 

In front of an audience at Moogfest, they shared stories of big dreams, hard work and determination as well as support from local universities, NC IDEA grants, accelerators and more. Most admit they’ve exhausted every opportunity they could find in the region.

And according to Doug Kaufman, CEO of TransLoc, the Silicon Valley investors once begging him to move to California are now investing millions in his Research Triangle Park-based company and asking him to stay put.
