Ok Wilmington, we are looking for the entrepreneurs with the next big potential win. What is the next company with a MOONSHOT idea for a product needed in the marketplace.
We have been promoting and pushing nCino and UnTappd for 7 years to help validate the growth of our startup ecosystem at the beach. Shoutout to PlayerSpace too !!!
So WHO is next?
We are looking for validation points of which entrepreneurs are hungry and also have follow through.
