The Tweener Fund Goes Statewide w/ Scot Wingo & Robbie Allen | Ep. 35

2026 has already been a BIG year for NC IDEA and an even bigger one for North Carolina’s startup ecosystem. On this episode of 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨, host Thom Ruhe (  / thomasruhe  ) sits down with Scot Wingo (  / thescotwingo  ) and Robbie Allen (  / robbieallen  ) , General Partners of the newly rebranded NC Tweener Fund, Powered by NC IDEA (https://www.tweenerfund.com/) . The conversation explores the strategic investor relationship between NC IDEA and the Triangle Tweener Fund, and what it means to take this early stage investment model statewide. Access to capital continues to be one of the biggest barriers facing North Carolina founders. When startups can’t find funding locally, they often scale more slowly or look outside the state for investment, increasing the risk that talent, jobs, and economic impact follow. Tune in to find out what this means for the future of North Carolina's entrepreneurial ecosystem! Disclosure: NC IDEA IS A LEAD INVESTOR IN THE NC TWEENER FUND (THE “FUND”) AND HAS A MATERIAL ECONOMIC INTEREST IN THE FUND, INCLUDING PARTICIPATION IN THE FUND’S CARRIED INTEREST. CONSEQUENTLY, NC IDEA WILL BENEFIT INDIRECTLY FROM ANY INVESTMENTS THAT ARE MADE IN THE FUND.
