“Soffos” comes from the Greek word for wisdom, which the Soffos.ai co-founders determined was a perfect name for their edtech startup that helps customers infuse their educational products with generative AI. Ken Hubbell ➡️ https://t.ly/9Ep1u

CSPM Zero Founder and CEO Phil Sautter worked in consulting in cloud security for many years, and noticed that his clients were not able to effectively manage their information security. This past spring, Sautter founded CSPM Zero, a startup that provides context and insights into a company’s cloud security. He hopes to launch his product by the end of this summer. ➡️ https://t.ly/RPCb4

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Fourth of July holiday! 🎇 ✨ GrepBeat will be offline today and tomorrow, and you should be too... but we won't tell you what to do. We'll be back on Monday!

We're preparing and stirring up for the new fall season of #InTheSoup 🍲 ! We want to hear what YOU want to know & who YOU want to learn from, so we are taking topic and guests recommendations that Triangle early-stage startup founders need to hear from! Comment them below! 😋

When Victoria Fritz, MD realized she needed a surrogate pregnancy, she felt like she only had two options to find a match: pay $50,000 for an agency to help her find one or surf through Facebook and Reddit, forgoing any form of background check. She didn’t want to do either. So, Fritz thought of a new idea: Baby Bumps—Hinge for surrogacy—where parents and potential surrogates can post their profiles and match with each other in a transparent and ethical way. ➡️ https://t.ly/TjwYL

Just behind fossil fuels and agriculture, the apparel industry is the third-largest polluting industry in the world. To combat this waste, Jeanine Fry co-founded Loom3d alongside Abdel-Fattah Seyam and Janie Woodbridge. Rather than making the fabric and then cutting and sewing it into a garment, Loom3d combines these production steps to develop seamless, whole garments. ➡️ https://t.ly/2yFI3

One day without Pete and we're still thinking about him... hopefully you are too! No worries though, as GrepBeat Pete can be memorialized in this special Pete compilation video, which first premiered during last week's Friday Nooner episode. What's your favorite memory with GrepPete? (I'm still trying to make this happen.) 🔗 https://t.ly/rhDhs

One more after-work drinks (aka beer banter) before seeing GrepBeat Pete off! 🥲 Make sure to stop by and say bye officially to him at his Irish Goodbye party on Thursday, July 11TH from 5-7pm at Bull McCabe's in Durham! 👋🏼☘️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWcGXbvw

Today’s season finale episode of the Friday Nooner was a mini-celebration of Pete on his final day with GrepBeat. Joe beamed in from the Costa Rican mist, video tributes were shown & multiple fun rounds of trivia taught us a bit more about both Pete himself and the standup comedy world he’s diving into. For those who may not have heard, there will be a more extensive farewell party for Pete, dubbed GrepBeat Pete’s Irish Goodbye, at Bull McCabe’s Irish Pub on July 11 from 5-7pm.

The Friday Nooner is taking a break for the summer! But not until we end the season with a special edition episode of "Where's Pete?"... or where will Pete be? Our beloved Managing Editor has some big news to share, which you might have already heard from today's newsletter, but he still has much to say and do before he parts ways with GrepBeat. Tune in later this week to hear from GrepBeat Pete for one last time!
