Gro Incubator Throughout The Years
  Over the years, the program—originally launched as FastTrac—has helped launch some of North Carolina’s most recognized startups, including SciQuest, Spoonflower, and BioResource International (BRI). Each of these companies went on to achieve major milestones—from acquisitions to large-scale growth—demonstrating the long-term impact of the program. More recently, companies like SelSym Bio, Flux Hybrids, and Equity Shift have completed the program and gone on to raise capital, expand their teams, and secure major partnerships
