Capital Connects – Celebrating Local Innovation
Join us at Capital Connects 2025 on Monday, May 12, kicking off this year’s Startup Week in Greensboro!
This year’s event is a special one. We’re putting the spotlight on homegrown talent — seven inspiring companies from our very own LaunchLab Growth accelerator.
In a rapid-fire pitch format, these founders will share their bold visions and compete for cash prizes. Capital Connects has served as a launchpad for North Carolina startups for over 20 years — and this year, it’s all about local innovation and community support.
Meet the 2025 Capital Connects companies:
🌟 Clinavare
🌟 Brain Power Solutions
🌟 ESTAS
🌟 EnviroClass
🌟 SCHEMATA studios
🌟 WOC Worldwide
🌟 LilyList
Connect with fellow entrepreneurs, investors, and community leaders — and help cheer on these promising founders as they pitch for the win.
Presented by Launch Greensboro, the entrepreneurial arm of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce.
