North Carolina’s High Country is one of the most serene and beautiful parts of the state and it offers some of the best recreational and business opportunities in the region.  And that's why we live here - to experience the beauty and majesty of the outdoors and to live in this place we like to call home.

The intent of Silicon Hollar is not to bring the Silicon Valley to the High Country, but we do want to transplant some of its best traits and weave them into our unique ecosystem.

We believe the entrepreneur lives at the center of everything we do.

Collectively it’s our role to support them through mentorship, capital, facilitating key introductions and providing “real-world” education.

We use slack to stay connected. It's a free app and it's open to anyone who wants to stay in touch with and learn from our large network of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, students and tech enthusiasts. 

Startup Space
