Together with NC IDEA, the KSS team will design a targeted awards program to offer critical early-stage funding to deserving entrepreneurs. This program will prioritize female and minority-owned businesses that either meet or have the potential to meet NC IDEA's grant eligibility criteria, ensuring that underrepresented founders have the support they need to succeed.
