WRAL TechWire’s exclusive Triangle Startup Guide is continually growing with new resources for local startups. Whether you’re looking for VC or angel funding, local coworking spaces or free networking events, the Triangle Startup Guide has all the resources you need to take your venture to the next level.

Ever since the pandemic hit last March, we’ve been building out our COVID-19 resources section, which includes links to small business grants, state and federal relief funding, support and advice, research funding, public health information and more.

Last week, we added a new line for North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper’s recent move to lift the previous Modified Stay at Home order. We included links to the Executive Order, FAQs and guidance for businesses and employers.

We also added an update regarding the Small Business Administration’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP): Sole proprietors and small businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees can now apply for a second round of loans, starting last week. This special application window will close on March 9.

Additionally, we included a link to this recent article from NC TECH about how employers can make sense of COVID-19 vaccination priorities.


We make weekly additions to the Triangle Startup Guide. As always, if we missed a resource you’d like to add, please feel free to submit it for inclusion. You can email me directly, tweet me @shannoncuthrell or use this contact form.
