NC IDEA MICRO

What you'll get

NC IDEA, a North Carolina startup funder, describes its $10,000 MICRO grant for companies testing a business model, paired with an eight-week customer-discovery program, and points to a $50,000 SEED grant for the next stage. Its page says food and beverage applicants need at least $5,000 in annual revenue and that it favors companies with a path to venture funding or large revenue, so read the eligibility section before you spend time on an application, and check the page for the next round.
