With weekly updates to keep content fresh and relevant, our exclusive Triangle Startup Guide is a huge part of our new Startup Monday series.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact local startups and small businesses, we recently started adding COVID-19 funding and support resources to the guide. Click here for the full list of resources. Here’s what we added last week:
- We added an update about the Federal Reserve’s new Main Street Lending Program for small businesses.
- We also added the Holly Springs Chamber Foundation Angel Fund. Holly Springs-based small businesses may apply for grants up to $3,000.
- We added Adroll’s COVID-19 Guide for Small Businesses, a helpful resource for companies that need a boost in the pandemic.
- In the public health resources section, we added this table of case data from the Department of Health and Human Services.
We also added some non-COVID related resources as well:
- In our “inspiration, advice and more resources” section, we added a link to CED’s latest Innovators Report. The 2019 edition was announced last week. The annual report provides an overview of North Carolina’s innovation economy, including the latest data on funding, deal flow and exits.
- We added #BlackDollarNC to our “communities/networks to join” section. #BlackDollarNC is an online “rolodex” of hundreds of black-owned or operated businesses across North Carolina. The directory is searchable through a broad range of categories, from health and fitness to hemp and clothing to graphic design to real estate. (Read more about #BlackDollarNC in our recent coverage here.)
As always, if we missed a resource you think should be added, please don’t hesitate to submit it for inclusion. You can email me directly, tweet me @shannoncuthrell or use this contact form.
