If you have formed (or will form) a North Carolina-based company, and you are looking for funding, NCIDEA has begun accepting applications. A preliminary application is due by September 12. Twenty semi-finalists will have until September 29 to finalize a full proposal for review. Grants in the amount of $50,000 will be awarded this December to at least 3 but up to 6 companies.
This is a good opportunity for entrepreneurs who have no previous funding and those who wish to avoid seeking venture capital.
Saw this on a local calendar. Not sure of any other details. Should be helpful to those with little/no web presence. Personal branding is important for the entrepreneur.
