Scores of startups, several emerging growth firms with big plans, and investors from around the country will gather in Raleigh next week for NC IDEA’s “Grant Showcase” and the CED’s annual Tech Venture conference. It’s an opportunity for North Carolina entrepreneurs to shine.

Those events follow on the heels of several events over the past week, including Triangle Entrepreneurship Week, the Raleigh Innovation Summit and much more.

So entrepreneurs and those associated with the startup world have little pause for breath.

On with the shows.

First off on Monday is the NC IDEA Grant Showcase at the Raleigh Convention Center on Monday evening. NC IDEA, the economic development group associated with early-stage venture fund IDEA Fund Partners in Durham, is kick starting North Carolina-based startups every year with up to $50,000 in grants.

NC IDEA will tout 10 of its grant recipients as part of a meeting for the Angel Capital Association’s Southeast Region.

The private event for investors kicks off at 5 p.m.

Two of the NC IDEA recipients will be “showcased” – Physcient and Protochips. 

The CED event opens on Tuesday at the Convention Center and runs through Wednesday, packing both days with startup pitches to investors, a showcase of fast-growing success stories, and a number of panel discussions.

CED also plans to salute the North Carolina-based companies that have managed to execute IPOs this year – including home-grown Quintiles, ChannelAdvisor and more.
