Monday Mix: Rising Stars 2026, Test Flight Pitch Practice, and More!

**Please note that while we provide the most up-to-date information we can in our Monday Mix, events this week are subject to be cancelled due to the winter storm. Be sure to check individual event pages for further information!** We all know that nothing ever really slows down for startups, and in these particular days, it can be even harder to keep up with important deadlines and events in our fast-moving Triangle, Wilmington, and Charlotte ecosystems! That’s why, at the beginning of every week, we’ll be keeping you in the know with your own Monday Mix: a curated look at the week ahead in GrepBeat and North Carolina's tech communities.
