For both students and startup ventures, the UNC Startup Meet and Greet is a great way to network virtually and build relationships in the Carolina startup community.

Are you a Carolina student who’s curious about working at a startup?
Log on and meet UNC-affiliated startups, learn what it’s like to work in a startup environment and make connections with startup leaders that could land you an internship or potential job. You’ll also meet Carolina alumni who are active in the entrepreneurial community.

Are you a startup founder or leader?
Join us online to meet talented UNC-Chapel Hill students who are looking for the opportunity to learn more about your world and help your organization by using the skills they’ve acquired at Carolina.

This year, there are two meet-and-greet sessions that will give students and companies more opportunities to connect and hold meaningful conversations than ever before.

Minority Startup Meet and Greet

Wednesday, November 11 @ 5 p.m. | Online 

Join this informative, interactive event designed for minority startup founders and students. Hosted by Innovate Carolina, the Black Entrepreneurs Initiative and University Career Services, this session is a great chance to learn about the experiences of minority entrepreneurs by talking directly with startup founders who are historically underrepresented in this sector and who want to build relationships with minority students. You’ll also discover how to tap into a campus network and community for Black entrepreneurs that the student-led Black Entrepreneurs Initiative is cultivating at UNC-Chapel Hill.  University Career Services will be on hand to equip you with networking tips that you can use to build relationships that lead to internships, mentors and employment.
