NC IDEA Senior Director Amy Bastian chatted with the folks at GrepBeat last Friday. (Minus Jackie because she was sick.)

Through their powerful combination of competitive grants and programs, and a network of strategic partners, NC IDEA is committed to supporting entrepreneurial ambition and economic empowerment in North Carolina. Amy leads the organization's grant programs for entrepreneurs, including SEED ($50K), MICRO ($10K). She also serves as an advisor and coach for startups. Prior to her role, Amy worked at The Nature Conservancy.
