Triangle Venture Alliance
The Triangle Venture Alliance is an association of the alumni angel networks at Duke University, the
University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, and North Carolina Central University. The alliance funds startups founded by alumni, students, staff, faculty, and families of these Trianglearea universities and works together on investment opportunities that have connections to multiple of the four schools. Combining the power of these area angel investors gives groundbreaking ideas and innovations the best chance at success.
In June 2017, Triangle Venture Alliance announced its initial investment in 410 Medical, an early-stage
medical device company that has developed and is now commercializing a novel medical device that can rapidly infuse life-saving fluids during medical emergencies.

“As a clinician who is affiliated with two of the great local universities that formed this alliance, it is very rewarding to receive this investment and to know that these organizations have found another way to make a positive impact on patients’ lives—funding innovation. I firmly believe this partnership among the universities will serve to support the strong ideas that come from each of the schools, further strengthening a local, innovation-driven economy.”
