Fueling the Future of Women in Innovation
Strength in Numbers is a thriving program where female-identifying members of the innovation ecosystem come together to connect, collaborate, and grow.
We welcome: Founders and operators in high-impact sectors like tech and life sciences, and investors, ecosystem partners, and resource providers who are committed to supporting innovation.
Together, we connect, learn, celebrate successes, and amplify underrepresented voices who are shaping the future of our entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Join the Circle of Changemakers
Strength in Numbers isn’t for spectators—it’s for changemakers. This is a community of women who show up for themselves and each other—who believe that success is multiplied when we share knowledge, connections, and opportunities. If you believe women will lead the next decade of growth in our region, this is your moment to step in and make it happen.
 
    
    
  
 
    
  
  Real Women. Real Impact.
"During a Strength in Numbers coffee event at Cocoa Cinnamon in Durham, we were sharing our respective journey passions and challenges. Drug development is one of those longer journeys. Along that path, challenges arose in navigating and organizing freezer samples. AI is now mature enough to be applied to this problem, and Aviva's expertise in applying AI to databases, together with her experience in business, seemed a perfect fit. Together with Blencorp (an AI/app/cloud storage company), we're developing a hands-free audiovisual approach to the freezer storage problem."
