RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – We’ve had such an amazing response to our first in-person event in over 20 months. Thank you for the support from the bottom of our hearts. Since we’ve had such a long absence, we believe it’s important to restate what our mission is.

Startup Summit is a learning platform that brings together entrepreneurs seeking advice, proven strategies, and the necessary connections to help grow their businesses for years to come. We actively educate, inspire, and connect thousands of founders from all over the state of North Carolina.

If you want to join us for our first in-person event to become educated on important strategies that you can employ at your business, then grab an early bird ticket by clicking the link below.  Space is limited, so don’t wait till the last minute because you may not have a seat.

It’s set for Sept. 22 from 2-6 p.m. at The Frontier in RTP.

Finally, we’ve had some people reach out about the uncertainty that still exists, and believe me, we are taking this very seriously.  Below are a couple of important notes that should give you comfort about attending the Startup Summit event.

  • All tickets are refundable based on the COVID-19 pandemic
