startup nc weekend Why?

We are gathering creative minds interested in collaborating to profitably address the global problem of excessive E-Waste. We see opportunity. Our team of judges include Steve Swayne, Tom Everly, Deb Oronzio & Norm Wood.

What happens to old electronic equipment— and why does it matter? Some is refurbished. However, only a small percentage is recycled. This competition event is a small experiment with the potential for global ramifications, business startups and real profit.

-Mary Jane Clark, Certified Entrepreneurship Facilitator
