Different founders need different rooms. Here is exactly where you start, what comes next, and who each stage is for.
The front door, open, no-pressure events where founders meet founders and feel the room out. No hoops, no pitch.
Pop-ups, monthly events, the Founder Briefing.Dig in with mentors who've done it, practical help and honest feedback, not Entrepreneurship 101.
Venture Launch Accelerator, Growth Jam, Hackathon.Trusted, confidential rooms of founders at your stage, where you can say the hard thing out loud and know it stays there.
Founders' Forum, Lake Social, invite-only nights.When it helps your company, the community puts a spotlight on you, in front of people who want to see you win. Only when you're ready.
Tech Pitch Competition, InnoVision, SIC.If you're building a technology company, or a company where technology is your edge, there's a place for you here. Find where you fit.
Programming moves around the region on purpose. Pop-ups build demand where founders already are; the accelerator anchors at Winthrop in Rock Hill; relationship events happen on the lake and at the ballpark.
Two ways in for founders, both free, plus the partners and sponsors who make it possible.
Open to every technology founder, operator and investor in the corridor.
The vetted inner circle, confidential peer groups for committed founders.
Start where you are, it's free to begin. Come to an event, join the community, and find the founders building alongside you.
