Our work is powered by a small but mighty team, a network of community ambassadors, and a committed board of directors. Together, we connect entrepreneurs with the people and resources that help them succeed.
Day-to-day, Innovate Charlotte is led by staff who work alongside founders, funders, and partners to grow the ecosystem.
Our ambassadors are volunteers who help welcome newcomers, connect founders with resources, and spread the word about what’s happening in Charlotte’s startup community. They are the friendly faces you’ll see at our events and the voices helping us amplify opportunities across the ecosystem.
Our board provides strategic guidance and governance, ensuring Innovate Charlotte remains true to its mission while building for the future. Comprised of experienced entrepreneurs, investors, executives, and community leaders, the board represents a cross-section of the Charlotte ecosystem.
Innovate Charlotte is always looking for passionate community members to step up — as mentors, volunteers, or supporters. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected startup community in Charlotte.
