Friday Nooner: Archie O’Connor Talks Raleigh-Durham Startup Week

This week’s Friday Nooner—sponsored by Whitley Recruiting—provided a look into the near future, at least once the GrepBeat Godfather finished talking about his chickens. (A new chick was allegedly eaten by a hawk.)

Joe and Pete welcomed guest Archie O’Connor, the Co-Founder (with Chris Heivly) of Raleigh-Durham Startup Week. RDSW returns for Year Three next week as a four-day, all-free event from Tuesday-Friday, April 9-12. The first two days are in Durham before shifting to Raleigh for the last two days.

GrepBeat will cap Tuesday’s Day One (April 9) with a happy hour at Bull McCabe’s in downtown Durham. You can register for that free event here; your first drink will be courtesy of our sponsor, Dualboot Partners.

Archie recommends checking out the RDSW site and then downloading the event’s Whova app to make the most of your time. You can also check out our full preview of the event here.
