Passionate Startup & Ecommerce Builder | Sales & Customer Success Driver | Mindset & Pitch Coach for Startup Founders
Earlier this week we held the second in-person event for Founder Institute NC which was a startup CEO panel. A big thanks to Yasin Abbak and Anthony Rotoli for joining Gregg Armitage and me at this great event. Thanks to Tim Scales at American Underground for hosting us. We will continue this series of events as we move closer to the start of the Fall cohort. The only requirement to apply is to be launching a tech or tech-enabled company. To stay inline with this, please also join me next month where I have candid sit down with serial entrepreneur and a foundational pillar of the Triangle ecosystem, 🐧 Scot Wingo. Our fireside chat will provide insights in how a founder and investor looks at a problem space and potential opportunities and then how to execute so the idea doesn't just die on the vine. This will definitely be an event you want to attend wherever you are in the startup journey. It will take place on August 22 at 6pm at Raleigh Founded Gateway location. Thanks to Lauren Romer and her team for hosting us there. And as always thanks to Smith Anderson for sponsoring our Fall cohort! Hope to see you there! #trianglesaas #trianglestartups #ncstartups #ncsaas #ncfounders #trianglefounders #foundermindset

And thanks to our panelists, Maya Brooks, Candy Carver, Anthony Kelley, Dr. Nehemiah J. Mabry, P.E., Oluwayemisi Runsewe, Patrick Musau, Ph.D., and Joshua Samuel-Ojo.
