🔦 Resource Spotlight: Business Builder Startup Credit Card

If you’re a new business looking for funding, you’ve probably run into the same wall: lenders & grant-makers want history you haven’t had time to build. Two years in business. Perfect credit. A track record that doesn’t exist—yet.

The Business Builder Credit Card from American Partners FCU is built for businesses in that in-between stage. It’s a new offering—one of the only business lines of credit in the Triad designed specifically for startups—and it’s tailored to help founders build real business credit early, without relying on personal guarantees or perfect conditions.

If you’re interested in learning more, TriadNavigator is hosting a workshop with American Partners FCU representative Marcus Delgado on Tuesday, September 16th!

📅 Event Spotlight: PROXY Pop-Up at Folk Fest '25

Before its grand opening this fall, PROXY is opening its doors for a special pop-up during Folk Fest weekend in Downtown Greensboro. Founded by Fall ‘24 LaunchLab Growth alum Michael Clapp (Schemata Studio), PROXY blends gallery, retail, and design into one curated space.

Expect a mix of sharp, design-forward goods—from architectural lighting and writing instruments to handpicked art objects. It’s a solid chance to pick up something special and get a first look at what’s coming in October!
