Is North Carolina competitive compared to Silicon Valley, NYC, Austin, or Chicago when it comes to startups? The NC Startup Delegation, comprise of 10 companies from the Triad, Charlotte, and the Triangle, is headed to Silicon Valley to raise our hands and show the world we can compete on the global stage. Check out the LiveStream as you can, and make sure to keep your eyes open for our NC teams.
While we are in Redwood City pitching, meeting with investors, and telling people about the great state of North Carolina, you can follow along with the events on main stage by watching the LiveStream. Check out the Agenda. The lineup is outstanding - these folks are leading some of the fastest growing startups and the investment firms who back them.
BTW, the Startup Grind Global Conference is two days, so check back in on February 12th. Agenda times listed here are in Eastern Standard Time, so in California we'll be 3 hours behind.

The Triad delegation for SG Global 2020 includes:
SWIPEBY (Carl Turner)
Greenhill AntiBallistics Corporation – Force Disruption Platform (Judy Lee Greenhill and Zachary Greenhill)
Patch (Dan Driscoll)
Proposa (Brian Onorio)
Fluree (Kevin Doubleday)
Hay Trabajo (Elizabeth Escobar Hurtado)
Gryppers (Jamelle Eugene)
Like last year, the Flywheel Foundation has a community goal: to underwrite the conference ticket for each of these growth-stage companies, $3,500 (of the total $5,000 ticket cost) per company.
With investments from local individuals and organizations—from people who see North Carolina’s place on the global startup stage— NC can, in fact, show up to Silicon Valley in 2020. And what’s more?
That buzz, that affirmation, that golden opportunity—they’ll bring it all home.
