About this Event

While Wilmington NC is a little late to most business trends, the latest investment business model has now made it to the coast.

What is a VENTURE STUDIO? And how can a Venture Studio play a role in growing the tech entrepreneur scene in Wilmington.

We have two leaders of venture studios in North Carolina who will participate in our infamous RIVERside chat format.

We will discuss their careers , insights and milestones that make them qualified in the venture studio business and investment model. And what they plan to do next.

  • Matt Cimino - A UNCW grad who recently sold his AMPED company to Intuit / Mailchimp, moved back to the coast and has started AMPED Ventures, a new venture studio where he is looking to invest and start new AI related companies.
  • Brian Ruddy - A NC State grad who went to work as an engineer at unicorn called Pendo with founder of the 24 and Up Venture Studio based in Raleigh. Brian participated in the inaugural Wilmington AI Roundtable and showed interest in coastal tech scene. Brian is on the tech and engineering side of the business.
