📊 From The Reader Polls

We run weekly polls to learn more about our readers’ opinions, preferences, concerns, etc.

Some are serious, and some are just for fun. But they often spark ideas for me as I curate content for the newsletter. So, maybe one will spark an idea for your business or organization, too!

🎤 Join Us May 29 For A Pitch Contest & Networking Event

We’ve teamed up with Startup Junkie to host The Service Business Pitch Contest, presented by Generations Bank, at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville on Thursday, May 29, from 6–9p.

Service-based startups (home services, commercial help, or tech-enabled solutions) will have 60 seconds to pitch their business to a panel of expert judges for $2,500 to fuel their venture.

The community is invited to network with local founders and business leaders over drinks at T2’s Commons. Guests will also vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will receive $750.

We’re looking for three more community sponsors at $250 each to cover our Grand Prize. We anticipate 100-150 attendees, and all Community Sponsors will be listed in our promotion materials before and during the event.

Would you consider a donation of $250 to support local startup founders?

Email me back if you’re company is in!
