A Facebook message that Tai Huynh sent to fellow UNC students while a first-year—seeking others interested in working on a project to use tech to help local governments—ultimately blossomed into Durham-based startup Acta Solutions, which we named to GrepBeat’s 2022 Startups To Watch list.
That was one big takeaway from this week’s Friday Nooner, sponsored by Triangle dev shop Big Pixeland hosted by Pete and two other people who don’t even have a Wikipedia page. (OK, their names are Joe and Jackie. And yes, Pete really does have a Wikipedia page.)
The Friday Nooner
The Friday Nooner covers the week in tech in the Triangle and beyond—when it’s not diving down random rabbit holes—in a fast-paced half-hour-and-change.
This program is produced by GrepBeat and co-hosted by GrepBeat Managing Editor Pete McEntegart and GrepBeat Godfather Joe Colopy.
In addition to this podcast, The Friday Nooner can also be viewed live each Friday at Noon (ET) on LinkedIn, Facebook or YouTube, or watched afterward on those same platforms.
