RALEIGH — Do you think that you’ve got what it takes to bring your Internet of Things (IoT) product to market?
RIoT is looking for you.
The group dedicated to helping companies capture IoT opportunities is accepting applications for its latest 12-week, “high-touch” RIoT Accelerator Program.
They want early-stage startups in the IOT space who are keen to partner with a consortium of more than 75 companies across the IoT stack.
The endgame: to bring products to market and create jobs, said Tom Snyder, executive director of NC RIoT.
“That’s our goal and mission,” Snyder told WRAL TechWire back in April when the group held its second RAP Pitch Night.
The program is funded by a variety of grants, including $500,000 from the federal government, and has support from the NC IDEA Foundation.
Since its launch in 2018, Snyder said there is growing evidence that the Triangle is quickly emerging as an IoT hub.
“We’re seeing more companies relocate to the area to actually have their businesses grow here. Our winner from two or three cycles ago, BruVue, moved from Ohio to be here. We’re seeing a lot of that traction.”
The deadline is June 30.
