RALEIGH – If you have ideas and suggestions about how to give a boost to North Carolina’s entrepreneurial eco system, the Governor’s Entrepreneurship Council wants to hear from you.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Michael Goodmon, chairman of the NCEC and Senior Vice President of Capitol Broadcasting Company (the corporate parent of WRAL techWire), asked people to provide input.

“On behalf of the NC Governor’s Entrepreneur Council, we are seeking rapid feedback to help craft some suggested recommendations to be submitted to the Governor’s team in order to suggest how best to support our start-up eco-systems moving forward (from both a short and long-term perspective),” Goodmon wrote.

“To do this, we need your brains!  If this applies to you, and for many of you it does, please take a few moments and give us your thoughts.”
