RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – With weekly updates to keep content fresh, WRAL TechWire’s Triangle Startup Guide offers a timely resource package for anyone looking to start or grow a business in the Triangle area.
Today, we added a new listing to our interactive Map of Coworking Spaces and Incubators, which tracks the Triangle’s growing network of offices for startup-sized teams. Local firm Office Ours opened its fourth location in Garner last May. The space includes office suites, a kitchen and break room, a 10-person conference room, white noise machines, a secure lock system and more amenities.
We also made a new addition to the Inspiration, Advice & More Resources section of the guide, which features a mix of podcasts, blogs, video series and more content both by and for entrepreneurs in the Triangle.
The latest addition to this section is our newly launched “Tomorrow’s Unicorns” series, a multimedia package covering Raleigh’s most successful startups. The series kicked off earlier this month with deep dives on Global Data Consortium and Diveplane.

We’re also hosting a weekly “Chats with the Founder” series on LinkedIn Live to complement the series. It kicked off last Wednesday with Michael Capps, CEO and co-founder of Diveplane.

Here’s a review of additions we’ve made in recent weeks:
- In the Venture Capital and Angel Groups section, we updated the Wolfpack Investor Network listing to include that the group has totaled $15 million in investments since its founding in December 2016, per the latest information from NC State University. We also added a new line to the Triangle Venture Alliance listing, noting that it has invested $53 million into 73 portfolio companies since 2016.
- We added Launch Johnston County to the Accelerators and Mentorship Programs section of the guide. Headed by the Clayton Chamber of Commerce, Launch Johnston County aims to provide the coursework, networking, mentorship and funding opportunities emerging businesses need to grow in the Johnston County area. Applications will open later this year, and the program is expected to officially launch in January 2022.
- We added PitchRounds to the Competitions, Grants and More Resources section. Held during the upcoming AdvanSE Life Sciences Conference in South Carolina next month, PitchRounds invites life science companies across the Southeast to present their solutions in biopharma, digital health, diagnostics and medical devices. Startups have until Sept. 25 to apply to pitch in the program, which runs from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29 in Charleston.
- We added several new coworking spaces, removed closed spaces and made some updates to the existing listings in our map of local coworking spaces and incubators. Read more about the updates here.
- In the Competitions, Grants & Other Funding Sources section of the guide, we added Duke Institute for Health Innovation’s annual funding cycle, which supports innovative projects from faculty, staff, trainees and students of Duke University and the Duke University Health System. With thematic solicitations for proposals offered on a yearly basis, the program targets projects that aim to address critical issues encountered by care providers and patients. Applications for the next cycle are due on Oct. 1.
- In the Accelerators & Mentorship Programs section, we added Becoming An Investor-Ready Entrepreneur, a program run by the Small Business and Technology Development Center that recently expanded to cover pharmaceutical companies.
