North Carolina-based economic development nonprofit NC IDEA highlighted their partnership with Code the Dream in a case study authored by CTD Co-Executive Director Daisy Magnus-Aryitey.
The case study, in which Magnus-Aryitey explains CTD’s origins and outlines lessons learned from CTD’s work with entrepreneurs, she writes that “NC IDEA’s support throughout the years has been instrumental to our work.”
“From the beginning of our partnership, we shared a vision and mission alignment. In 2020, CTD was awarded the NC IDEA ECOSYSTEM Grant, enabling us to provide early-stage technical expertise to underserved entrepreneurs through CTD Labs, our in-house development shop. One of the founders we supported then was Dr. Anindya Chanda, Founder and CEO of Mycologics. We assisted him with his website and helped grow his web presence. In 2021, Mycologics received the NC IDEA MICRO ($10k) grant. Of course, we were rooting for him, so we were proud when the news came out that he had been awarded the grant.”
