In April, things started to look and feel a bit more normal. With the COIVD vaccine becoming so accessible, we are finally able to hug our friends and family again.
New Investments:
- In the month of April VentureSouth invested in six different companies, but because of fundraising regulations, we are not yet permitted to discuss these investments in detail.

- VentureSouth hosted three in-person meetings in April. These COVID responsible events took place in three of cities: Greenville, Greensboro, and Raleigh.
- VentureSouth was able to have their first in person meeting in April. All nine core VentureSouth team members were able to attend, and we were able to discuss exciting things to come!
