Western North Carolina has tremendous potential. With rich and diverse mix of businesses and entrepreneurs, the region is poised for post-COVID growth, particularly as individuals and companies move away from high-density regions. Yet, the region has long been underserved in terms of private equity and venture capital investments.  We see a real opportunity to drive innovation and growth in the region by providing entrepreneurs with the growth capital needed to take their businesses to the next level. Working alongside a strong network of economic development and investment partners in the region and leveraging the extensive investment expertise of the Hatteras team, we will lay the foundation for the future of WNC.
