LaunchWakeCounty

The LaunchWakeCounty program aims to support and develop entrepreneurs and small businesses in under-resourced communities in the county. Towns across Wake County collaborate with Wake Tech to offer a LaunchWakeCounty program for established or aspiring entrepreneurs in their communities. By nurturing homegrown, Main Street businesses, we hope to strengthen the small-business ecosystem across the region.
