Expanding Eastern NC’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Partner Community Capital and the National Institute of Minority Economic Development have launched the Eastern NC Entrepreneurial Promise (ENCEP). ENCEP is a virtual regional incubator for diverse companies in underserved counties of eastern North Carolina.

ENCEP serves businesses that:

  • Are run by minorities or women
  • Are located in economically distressed (Tier I or Tier II, see below) counties in Eastern NC
  • Have revenues of less than $250,000 and opportunities to scale.

There is no cost to participants. ENCEP is funded by a generous grant from NC IDEA Foundation.
