The Argyle Company won a grant from NC IDEA – a non-profit created to serve as a catalyst for young, high-growth, technology companies in North Carolina.  You can read more details in NC IDEA’s press release and at http://ncidea.org.

Obviously – this is really big news for us.  We’ll use the funds to accelerate core product development, implement a killer UI, and make sure that Argyle Social runs on a scalable, reliable infrastructure.  Thanks to the grant, we’ll knock this out sooner rather than later…and we’ll hire someone to help us do it.

The cash is obviously helpful for a two-guys-in-a-spare-bedroom start-up.  However, we’re equally excited about our new relationship with the NC IDEA team.  They’ve already made several helpful introductions and will play a big role in our growth over the coming months.

It goes without saying…but we’ll say it anyway:

We’re pumped.
