Meet Our 2021 Batch - Entrepreneurship Clinic

It’s been a couple of weeks. Our typical break before the summer. With that said, we are already full steam ahead. We have a summer session planned for the Clinic and the Andrews Launch Accelerator is officially rolling (pic below).

This was by far the most competitive year. We broke our previous record of submissions. It wasn’t only the numbers that increased, but the quality of the businesses. Some very promising companies didn’t make it through this time. But that is part of the journey and an amazing indicator that the potential for NC State startups is only increasing.

Today, we’ll share a bit about the teams that made it into Andrews 2021, and promise to do deeper dives on each team over the next few weeks.
