Raleigh-Durham Startup Co.

About RDSCo.

Raleigh-Durham Startup Co. serves to inspire, connect, support, and celebrate founders and their teams.

What started as Raleigh-Durham Startup Week has evolved into a year-round movement. The demand for more connection, more education, and more support was clear.

In 2026, we launched Raleigh-Durham Startup Co. as a nonprofit umbrella to grow our mission. RDSW remains our flagship event each April, now joined by ongoing workshops and meetups throughout the year — all free, and all designed to support Triangle founders every step of the way.
