NC IDEA -- Many young, North Carolina-based companies often need financing to help get them "over a hump." This could be capital for financing a prototype, completing marketing programs or wrapping up a final stage of research.

NC IDEA addresses these types of needs by providing grants, loans and traditional venture funding to help companies between seed funding and Series A financing. We also offer strong, strategic partnerships and alliances to assist entrepreneurs through research phases, business challenges and growth goals. Our mission is to ensure innovation and success by infusing North Carolina's entrepreneurial companies with needed capital and support.

Charleston Angel Partners is a member-driven organization composed of a group of Charleston area business professionals who work together to help support high growth economic development in the region. We screen and evaluate qualified start-ups looking for seed capital.

Membership is open to area men and women who are qualified individual investors, and have business or professional experience which can be employed in the group's research. Members work collectively to gain the benefits of a group experience, but act individually in every investment decision.

Wilmington Investor Network (WIN) is a private equity fund of angel investors located in Wilmington, North Carolina, that provides capital to early-stage companies in eastern North and South Carolina. Membership is comprised of investors from all areas of business who are interested in high-growth companies' investment return potential.

Our investors focus on technology, biotechnology, and medical device companies, but will consider other business ventures with high-return potential. WIN is looking for companies with a strong management team in place, a clear business plan, an engaging product or prototype, and the potential of high reward for the risk involved.

Affinergy also has a diverse base of private accredited investors.
