Are you part of the excitement of WIlmington startup scene? 5 local startups were chosen for the South's largest Tech Venture Conference, 4 local startups won awards this week at NC Tech Association Annual Awards, and now we have two finalists for the $50,000 grant from NC IDEA. I am extremely proud of these local companies earning their time on high profile stages to represent Wilmington at the state level.
Has Wilmington become the 2nd best place in North Carolina to be a startup?  YES!
