NC IDEA Foundation announced yesterday that it would award $10,000 grants to 22 startups statewide, one of which is in Cumberland County.
“With such a strong group of applicants, this is the most grant recipients we have awarded in one cycle,” said Thom Ruhe, President and CEO of NC IDEA. “This cycle drew a record number of applications, particularly from our rural communities. We are seeing a clear need from all parts of the state for funding and support to help these companies grow,” Ruhe added.
BattleBuggies To Go LLC, based in Fayetteville, was one of the recipients of an NC IDEA grant.
The company is a grocery delivery service. This company, however, stands out from its competitors with a specific niche.
BattleBuggies To Go specifically delivers groceries from commissaries, both in the United States and abroad.
Supported by WeWork and Bunker Labs, the company is a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that strives to employ active service members and their family members as well as veterans with service-connected disabilities and retirees.
In addition to the recipients of the micro-grants, NC IDEA announced the thirteen finalists for their $50,000 NC IDEA SEED for fall 2021, one of which was Sani, a Fayetteville-based, South Asian clothing company.
