The Triangle Tweener Fund (Tweener Fund) is excited to announce two major additions to its growing portfolio of resources for the Triangle’s startup ecosystem: the Triangle Tweener Times (Tweener Times – www.tweenertimes.com), a weekly newsletter, and Triangle Tweener Talks (Tweener Talks - www.tweenertalks.com), a weekly podcast (audio and video).
The Tweener Times is a free/paid Substack newsletter, published every Monday, designed for Triangle-based entrepreneurs. With the tagline "Builders Helping Builders,"each issue offers in-depth articles on key topics that matter most to local founders, including Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies, AI-driven growth strategies, Product-LedGrowth (PLG), talent acquisition, and a calendar of events. Each weekly issue is packed with both strategic and tactical insights that help founders stay informed and connected.
Tweener Talks is a weekly podcast featuring conversations with a diverse lineup of Triangle founders. Available in both video and audio formats, the podcast dives into their journeys—successes, challenges, and lessons learned—while also highlighting the unique aspects of building a startup in the Triangle.
Both platforms are designed to foster a shared community where local founders can engage with the content, provide feedback, and collaborate on the topics that matter most to them. Paid subscribers have access to exclusive content, a member-only Slack community and events.
"After speaking with hundreds of Triangle founders, we saw a clear demand for more Triangle localized content and community-focused discussions,” said Scot Wingo, General Partner at Tweener Fund. “Tweener Times and Tweener Talks aim to meet that need, providing a fresh, founder-to-founder perspective that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the Triangle.”
The Tweener Talks podcast is produced in partnership with local podcast production company Earfluence, founded by Jason Gillikin. Learn more about Earfluence’s network of Triangle podcast studios and services at www.earfluence.com.
Tweener Times sketch notes are provided by Rajiv Kaul, CEO and co-founder of Intelligaia. Intelligaia is a global CX design and innovation firm based in the Triangle that works not only with Fortune 500 businesses, but helps both B2C and B2B startups ideate, design and implement innovative customer experiences.
