GrepBeat’s “Startups To Watch” recognizes early-stage startups that we believe are going to make a lot of noise over the next several years. We solicit nominations for the list from the GrepBeat community. The winners are honored at an invite-only evening event, which also includes other startup founders and key team members, investors and ecosystem leaders.

TO QUALIFY FOR THE LIST, A STARTUP MUST:

  • Be tech or tech-enabled. Thus no agencies or consultancies; and no life sciences, biotech or medical device startups
  • Have <$3M in annual revenue
  • Be headquartered in the Triangle
  • Must not be a past winner

Honorees

Each year the honorees are revealed at an invite-only event and receive their “Startup to Watch” certificate. Here is the list of 2021 honorees, the list of 2022 honorees and the list for 2023 honorees.

Stay tuned for 2024!
