Angel Investors Durham Sponsor MNP offering a Tax Checkup Continuing Education Session at our January Investment Meeting. Thank you Samuel Vander Baaren, CPA for offering Key Tax Deadlines & Information on How to Optimize Your Tax Return. We all appreciated it!

Another incredible company presenting at our 1st investment meeting of the year! Benjamin Attal of NIMBUSLearning - digitizing university and college tutoring centers to help them reach students earlier & increase retention. Nimbus Learning is a SaaS platform solving the retention problem in higher education by digitizing university and college tutoring centers to help them identify at-risk students, intervene with tutoring much earlier, and evaluate the impact of these services. Nimbus Learning offers a mobile app, web interface and administrative dashboard to achieve this.

Our first pitch is with Paul Fowler of MesoMat Inc., - providing a tire management platform by combining proprietary tire-mounted sensors with cloud-based software. MesoMat is revolutionizing the tire industry by measuring tire pressure, tread depth, temperature and probes how the rubber is interacting with the road in real-time. Data is transmitted to the cloud to provide information on safety, efficiency, risk of tire failure, load status, route severity and more. MesoMat digitizes the tire, turning it into a part of the connected vehicle.

Our first Investment Meeting of 2025 is underway! Some incredible companies coming up!

Thank you for the continued support Invest Durham! We couldn’t do this without you.
