GrepBeat is a media startup covering the tech community in Raleigh-Durham. Our purpose is to tell the stories of this area’s mighty tech startups and their entrepreneurs in an engaging and colorful way. Think of it as TechCrunch for the Triangle, with a splash of BuzzFeed for seasoning.
We aim for GrepBeat to be an accelerator—in the literal sense—for this tech startup ecosystem. If we do our jobs well, your stories will reach a wider audience, both within the Triangle and in the world outside. Yes, the Raleigh-Durham area is being increasingly recognized nationwide as a hotspot for tech activity and talent. But we believe it’s still significantly undervalued; national and international perception lags behind the robust reality on the ground. We want to help change that. Source

The Alchemy Lab is a Durham Startup Built to Help Your Organization Mature
Dr. Mike Lee (pictured) and Dr. Kristin Santos co-founded The Alchemy Lab (and its AI engine, Aurum) to break leadership roles into “periodic tables” that drive strategic operational maturation.
