The Stampede is back. After a successful spring season, nine Stampede startups now call Durham home. We’re ready to build on that success and bring a bunch of new, talented startup founders to the Bull City. We’ll make it easy for you — free, cool space; a community of peers; a chance to learn from successful startup founders; and 60 days to experience all the Bull City has to offer.

And this time, we’re engaging the community even further by offering our fans the opportunity to help select one of the participants! By contributing money to the Stampede’s Rippple crowdfunding campaign, as little as $25 gets you one vote to cast on the 20 finalists. The top vote-getter among the finalists gains automatic entry into the Stampede. Contribute now and help secure a spot for your company or your friend’s!
