But how? Is it by expanding into ecommerce? Is it more wholesale to grocery stores? Is it more shops throughout the Triangle and then the rest of North Carolina?She wants to grow, but she needs money to do it. Today's investors are:Keith Daniel, Resilient VenturesRobbie Hardy, xElle VenturesGrant Williard, Angel Investor and Founder of JouleBugTim McLoughlin, Cofounders CapitalStartup Stage is a production of Earfluence and hosted by Sharon Delaney McCloud.Thank you to our show sponsors:WeWorkInnovate Capital LawLenovoThe University ClubFancy This Photography
