Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in North Carolina

North Carolina combines one of the largest banking centres in the United States, in Charlotte, with one of the country's leading research regions, the Research Triangle. Together they give the state strengths in financial services, life sciences, pharmaceutical manufacturing and software, and a steady inflow of companies and people from other states.

Global Capital Network provides investor relations and capital introduction services across North Carolina, connecting founders with the state's venture funds, angels, family offices and corporate investors.

North Carolina's Capital Markets

Charlotte

Charlotte is the second-largest banking centre in the United States, with major bank headquarters and operations. That makes it a natural home for fintech, banking technology, insurance and financial services startups, and gives founders access to experienced finance professionals as investors and customers. See Charlotte.

The Research Triangle

The region between Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill is built around Research Triangle Park and three major universities: Duke, the University of North Carolina and NC State. It is strong in life sciences, clinical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agricultural technology and software. Cary is home to large software companies and a growing technology workforce.

The Piedmont Triad

Greensboro and Winston-Salem have strengths in manufacturing, logistics and healthcare, with Wake Forest University's medical research in Winston-Salem.
