Tai Huynh Traces Acta’s Path From Student Project To Startup

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 is a weekly, live, half-hourish program in which the GrepBeat Godfather Joe Colopy and cohost talk all things Triangle tech every Friday at Noon (ET). Each week, they also welcome a guest.

You can watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or LinkedIn. Or, if you are more of an audio learner, you can listen to the podcast version. Episodes will appear on this feed a few hours after they premiere.

You can read about past episodes or watch the full archive on YouTube:
