Catching Up

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

I’ve been so busy the past couple of months that I haven’t been able to post at all.  Durham is exploding with startup news and I have failed to report!  I will change this at once, starting with a catchup post with some highlights:

  • Today TechJournal South reports that five new startups have moved into the American Underground (link).   The startups include Acorn Investments, Adzerk, Jaargon Ltd. who develop GoToAid, Preation, and Two Toasters.
  • Durham ranks high in tech sector jobs, losing fewer jobs in the past year than our neighboring MSA Raligh (link).
  • Durham is top 5 in brainpower of the U.S. metros (link).
  • Durham startup acquisitions in the recent past include Modality to Epocrates and Unblab to AOL.
