E139: Profiles of Three Upstate Upstarts - Boyd Cycling, Ducklinks and Fearless Grad
E139: David leads with an update on the Southern Venture Ecosystem and introduces co-host Paul who briefly profiles three companies on The Upstate Upstarts List. Paul explains what the Upstate Upstarts are and why we're interested in these very early stage companies.
First is Boyd Cycling with Nicole and Boyd Johnson, a Craft Wheel manufacturing business who have recently pivoted to manufacturing tech they acquired from Germany and are now seeking growth from vertical integration.
Next is DuckLinks with Allison (Humen) Rogers, who has developed a unique app for parents of young children to find, save, and share activities that match your family's needs & interests.
Third is FearlessGrad with Dr. Natalie Morse Ph.D., who has developed a platform to help students get into top fully funded PhD programs.
All have customers and revenue, and give a flavor of the early-stage company entrepreneurialism of the Upstate. (recorded 9/25/24)
