The Triangle Tweener List (Tweener List) is excited to unveil the 2024 Tweener List
The 2024 Tweener List features:
• 54 new Triangle Tweeners
• Total of 300 Triangle Tweeners now being tracked and reported on
• The Tweener List’s sister organization, Tweener Fund has invested more than $6m in over 80 of the Tweeners representing 27% coverage
• 2023 was a banner year with $350m of fresh capital coming into Tweeners
• Five exits and only one closure were recorded.
“I started the Tweener List in 2015 to shine a spotlight on our ‘goldilocks startups.’, said Scot Wingo, Tweener List Founder. “The first list had 48 companies, many of those like Pendo and Bandwidth have been our areas current stars. Eight years later, we now have 300 – a 6X increase. To me this is the strongest signal that the Triangle’s startup ecosystem is not only healthy but growing exponentially.”

About the Triangle Tweener List
The Triangle Tweener List was founded in March of 2015. The Tweener List is a curated list of ‘goldilocks’ companies defined as:
1. Companies must be headquartered in the Triangle region of NC (aka Research Triangle).
2. Companies must be over 10 people or $1m in annual revenues.
3. Companies must be under 800 people or $80m in annual revenues.
4. Companies must be technology/venture fundable businesses. Consulting, recruiting and lifescience companies that require FDA approval are not included on the list.
Triangle Tweener List and Fund is managed by two Triangle area serial entrepreneurs who are the General Partners (GPs): Scot Wingo and Robbie Allen. Tweener Fund leverages the Angel List ‘rolling fund’ platform. The minimum investment is $20,000 (4 quarterly investments of $5k for the first year) and then ‘rolling’ (quarter-to-quarter) thereafter. In its first two years, Tweener fund invested over $6m across 114 investments in Triangle HQ’d high-tech early-stage startups. Unlike closed funds, the Tweener Fund is always open for new accredited investors.
