E127: Introducing the Upstate Upstarts Fund
E127: South Carolina is surging with founders and startups seeking capital investment.
In today's episode, Paul Clark and Dawson Racek of VentureSouth and Venture Carolina recap the Upstate Upstarts List of South Carolina, and discuss how they plan to use list to select the 15-20 most promising Startups for their Upstate Upstarts Fund. They review the rationale for the UU List, the investment thesis for the UU Fund and how it will work.
In the second half of the show, Paul then interviews Alan Blakeborough, Founder of Tax Titans, about his tax services marketplace that connects taxpayers, gig workers, and small business owners directly to the tax professionals and tax services they need. Tax Titans is a company from the Upstate Upstarts list, and the kind of company the new fund could support. (recorded 6/20/24 & 7/10/24)
