Founders Live is an unforgettable happy hour competition sweeping the globe where five handpicked companies take the hot seat, with only 99 seconds to pitch their company and describe their value proposition in front of an eager audience.

After the pitches and audience Q&A, the crowd votes on the winner who receives our winner’s package and the opportunity to talk more about their product or service.

So bring your friends and coworkers, grab some food and drink, get to know your local entrepreneurs and vote for what you think will be the next big thing… built in The Triangle.

The Investor Fly-in is an annual invite-only event showcasing North Carolina’s premier entrepreneurs. We invite an exclusive list of investors from across the Triangle, North Carolina region, and the United States to see a selection of Series A/B companies across the technology and life science industries from the region who are currently raising money, or will be soon. There will be company presentations, followed by bull riding and games, and a sit-down dinner to wrap up the evening. This year, we will be hosting this event in-person at Sports & Social Cary.

If you would like to learn more about investor partnership with CED and be considered for this invitation list, please email hyoung@cednc.org.

Peer networks make us stronger. We all know that the journey of launching and scaling a high-growth venture is demanding. Investing time to connect with those that are on a similar journey can improve your mental health, create clarity around the challenges you are facing, and unlock resources that help you grow.

CED is creating a space for you to build your peer network without distraction, and this time, trialing a morning coffee event based on feedback (we really do read your survey responses!). This private event is for startup founders/CEOs and is invite only. If you would like to be considered for the invitation list, please email Preet at pmankad@cendc.org.

There is no cost to attend, but we will have a 50/50 raffle to help us pay the coffee tab.
