More news and information for entrepreneurs to use in building and growing businesses is available from TechWire as we continue to make additions to our Triangle Startup Guide.
Every Monday, we’re sharing a digest of the changes and additions we make to the guide.
Here’s what we added last week:
We made a new listing for the Charlotte Angel Fund on the VC & Angel Groups page of the guide. The group invests in a range of early-stage startups across North Carolina, including many in the Triangle area. Typical investments reach around $50,000 per company, depending on the size of the investment round. The group focuses on tech startups that are addressing a large market.
We also added UNC Chapel Hill’s Eshelman Institute for Innovation to the Grants & Other Funding Sources page. The program offers grant funding to staff/faculty, students and postdocs who are developing innovations in science, medicine, healthcare delivery or healthcare education. You can check out some of the projects that have been awarded funding in the past here.
Additionally, we updated the mentorship programs section to add UNC Chapel Hill’s KickStart Venture Services. As part of UNC’s Office of Technology Commercialization, the program provides mentorship, coaching, connections and funding to early-stage startups founded by students and faculty.
We want to continue encouraging readers to share suggestions and feedback to help us make the guide better. Is there something you think we’re missing? Feel free to send me an email or tweet me (@ShannonCuthrell) your suggestions.
