2026-04-21 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Parker and Otis, 324 Blackwell St, Bay 4, Durham, NC, 27701, United States
​Fuel up for the big week ahead! CED is kicking off Raleigh-Durham Startup Week with a casual coffee and cornhole meetup — the perfect way to get energized, meet fellow founders, and ease into all the sessions and programming #RDSW26 has in store.
​No agenda. No programming (this time!). Just good vibes, great coffee, and an excuse to finally show off your cornhole game.
​Come grab a cup, say hi, and connect with the Triangle startup community before the week gets rolling. All are welcome!
Please note – RSVP is required: https://luma.com/m5izbhr2?tk=eHwAe3
