GrepBeat is a media nonprofit whose purpose is to lift the startup community in the Triangle (or Raleigh-Durham to you outsiders) and the rest of North Carolina. We do this by telling the stories of this area’s mighty tech startups and their entrepreneurs in an engaging and colorful way.
Through newsletters, podcasts, videos, events, and other clever things we can dream up, we help today’s small startups become tomorrow’s industry behemoths. The best way to keep tabs on it all is by subscribing to our email newsletter.
Behind the scenes, we are (sort of) a startup ourselves, operating out of the center of all things good and awesome in Downtown Durham. Rainbows end at our office, and unicorns stroll outside our doors. Crazy, I know!
