This award supports NC IDEA’s Rural Entrepreneurship Regional Constellation program, a three-year initiative to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems across up to six rural regions of North Carolina. Regional coalitions will provide entrepreneurs with services such as mentorship, business accelerators, and legal, financial, and marketing assistance. The program aims to support 1,800 early-stage companies, create 2,000 jobs, and generate $40 million in capital formation within five years.
