Do you have a solution that will make our healthcare system better? “Music as medicine”, “Text Mining” and “Arrhythmia tracking” are just three of dozens of solutions that will be pitched at the inaugural health-focused Triangle Startup Weekend.

Among all the efforts focusing on boosting startups in the Triangle these days, Groundwork Labs is unique. It's free.

With 45 N.C. breweries planned, dozens more growing exponentially, tons of vacant space in a community ripe for development, and three men eager to build a first-of-its-kind beer campus, it might seem like serendipity surrounds the Rocky Mount Brewmill.
