The Boost Pad

Great accelerators don't operate in a vacuum.
They thrive because an entire community decides to lean in.

Huge shoutout NC IDEA for being a cornerstone partner in our mission to build up North Carolina's startup ecosystem.

During our Cohort 12 Pitch Night, NC IDEA put their mission into immediate action. Sarah Mixter joined us to award the $5,000 Startup Currency Award to Daija Peeler, founder of SevenSixteen.

Capital changes the game for early-stage founders, but the validation of an organization like NC IDEA is what truly builds the confidence needed to scale. Thank you for investing in the future of our founders and constantly expanding what’s possible for local entrepreneurs. Together, we’re keeping the momentum moving forward.
