NC IDEA
Statewide startup grant program
Opened its Spring 2026 SEED information session as the June calendar filled.
The week's activity centered on the funding pipeline and the calendar ahead. NC IDEA ran an information session tied to its Spring 2026 SEED cycle, and June came into focus: Grep-a-Palooza on the 4th, CED's GRO11 Demo Day and First Flight's Propeller Demo Day both on the 25th. The signals pointed forward, to a month of demos.
