Announcing: NC IDEA and Tweener Fund Partnership

We started the Tweener List in 2015 with the idea of local founders paying it forward to help amplify and support our local startup ecosystem. Based on the popularity of that list and a grassroots effort to innovate a new way to help fund and support local founders, in 2022 we started the Tweener Fund. That’s good, but it’s not enough. We’re always asking the community of founders we support - what else can we do to help you grow your companies, raise capital, provide more resources, enhance the community, etc. So, in the last two years we launched numerous community facing resources, including Tweener Talks. What’s Next? 👉 NC Tweener Fund, Powered by NC IDEA! In this episode, Scot and Robbie hit the highlights of our newest adventure: Expanding geography from Triangle to NC (strategy and everything else stays consistent)Increasing our investment $/Q - that means more companies will be supportedBigger pool of potential investors (LPs)We'll be expanding our events, content and moreStay tuned for future news!

Dr. Helen Gu on Building InsightFinder, AIOps, and the “Last Mile” of Enterprise AI

In this episode of Triangle Tweener Talks, we unpack what it really takes to go from professor to CEO, how InsightFinder built trust in a skeptical enterprise market, and where LLMs help (and don’t) when you’re dealing with machine telemetry data. They also explore multi-agent workflows, “composite AI,” practical enterprise adoption hurdles, and Helen’s advice for students navigating an AI-shaped future. Highlights covered Helen’s origin story: NASA Pathfinder work → distributed systems reliability → ML-based predictionThe Google chapter: being invited to evaluate anomaly-detection algorithms with SRE teamsBootstrapping InsightFinder via NSF/SBIR funding + early angels, before raising traditional VCThe professor-to-CEO transition: prioritization over “balance,” and learning to adapt dailyWhy founders should lead early sales (especially when the product is new-to-the-world)How InsightFinder runs enterprise PoCs using a “replay mechanism” on historical incidents“Composite AI” + using LLMs to translate technical insights into understandable narrativesIf you’ve ever wondered what “AI that actually works” looks like in the enterprise, and how a research-driven founder earns trust at Fortune scale, this one’s a must-listen.

From Founder to Chief of Staff: How Offline Runs on AI with David Shaner

In Part 1 of this conversation on Triangle Tweener Talks, we walked through how David built Offline over 13 years, three companies, multiple pivots, and a subscription model that finally worked. In Part 2, we shift gears. This episode is about leverage. David breaks down how he went from running a ~34-person team to operating a multi-city business with ~2.5 people, not by cutting corners, but by rebuilding the company around AI-first systems, orchestration, and context-aware automation. This is not “AI news.” This is how a founder is actually using AI day to day. Highlights from Part 2 AI adoption started as a “copywriting intern,” not a silver bulletThe biggest fork: people who learned how to talk to models vs. people who gave upThe real unlock came when David built his first full-stack app himselfTools like Cursor and Cloud Code collapsed the barrier between idea and executionOffline stopped adding features to a monolith, and started building around itn8n became the orchestration layer that glued everything togetherMost business problems don’t need apps, they need glue codeAI SDRs fail today because context is fragmented and CRMs are a messThe right approach is decomposing SDR work into atomic stepsContext windows are the real constraint, not intelligenceDavid now runs a personal “Chief of Staff” GitHub repo with 70–80 skillsThe company itself is slowly becoming a file system agents can read and write fromIf you’re thinking about automation, agents, or headcount, this one will change how you think about all three.

Three Companies, One Brand: Building Offline Over 13 Years with David Shaner

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. In this episode, we focus on Offline’s origin story and business evolution, not AI (yet). Highlights from Part 1 Offline has effectively been three different companies under one brandEarly versions tried to reinvent Meetup, and failedA city-guide app reached ~3M people/month but couldn’t monetizeConsumer businesses can look successful while quietly breakingSubscription was the first model that truly workedRestaurants don’t want “deal seekers”, they want incremental revenueOffline works because it optimizes excess capacity, not discountsCOVID forced a near-shutdown, and a total rethink of operationsToday, Offline runs across 10 cities with ~600 restaurants and ~10,000 subscribersMost founders only hear about the winning version of a company. This episode shows the cost of getting there: years of pivots, wrong turns, false confidence, and learning, sometimes the hard way, how markets actually work. Offline didn’t succeed because of a clever growth hack. It survived because David kept learning, iterating, and refusing to confuse traction with sustainability.

Tony Atti: Phononic Founder: Scaling Phononic from 2008-2026 and Beyond | PART 2 of 2

Part 2 picks up where the origin story ends, and where the real work begins. Tony breaks down the three phases of Phononic: proving the science, surviving productization, and ultimately finding the market where solid-state cooling wasn’t just better, but mission-critical. It’s a candid look at why deep-tech companies require patience, capital discipline, and brutal focus to survive. This is the episode for founders navigating scale, manufacturing, or markets that don’t yet exist. Highlights from Part 2 The three semiconductor problems Phononic had to solve, togetherWhy feasibility took ~$10–15M before a real product even existedThe hidden cost of productization (and why Phase 2 was the most dangerous)Why Phononic nearly spread itself too thin across HVAC, cold chain, and data centers“Market → product fit” vs. product → market fitThe moment AI and accelerated computing changed everythingWhy data centers became Phononic’s core focusLicensing non-core markets instead of shutting them downTony’s three most important lessons for founders building outside Silicon ValleyPhononic’s story isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about surviving long enough for timing, technology, and market need to finally align. For founders building deep tech, Part 2 is a reminder: focus is strategy, patience is power, and big outcomes demand big ambition.

Tony Atti and How Phononic Was Founded During the 2008 Financial Crisis| PART 1 of 2

In this episode (Part 1), we cover the origin story. Tony walks through the decisions, failures, and inflection points that led to Phononic’s founding: leaving the Northeast for graduate school at USC, working on applied energy systems at JPL during the Mars rover era, and learning painful but formative lessons from a university spin-out that didn’t work. Then comes the moment you can’t script. In the fall of 2008, while the global financial system is actively collapsing, Tony presents a research thesis on why semiconductors transformed everything except cooling. He walks out that same day with a term sheet and a $2M commitment to found Phononic. Highlights from Part 1 Growing up blue-collar in Buffalo and why that shaped Tony’s leadership styleThe career-defining decision to leave the Northeast for USCWhat JPL teaches you about rigor, testing, and humilityWhy most university spin-outs struggle with equity alignmentHow venture capital experience sharpened Tony’s founder instinctsWhy cooling is the last unsolved semiconductor frontierFounding Phononic the day Lehman collapsedWhy the Triangle, and NC State’s Centennial Campus, won as Phononic’s homeWhere to Find Tony Atti: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-atti-ph-d-316483/ TradePending: https://phononic.com/ Where to Find Scot Wingo: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thescotwingo/ Tweener Times: https://www.tweenertimes.com/ X: https://x.com/scotwingo Timestamps: 01:40 — Scot tees up why Tony is a “special treat” + why Phononic matters in the Triangle 03:50 — Travel / frequent flyer miles (4M miles + recent global sprint) 05:10 — Why Phononic is a “quiet deep tech giant” more people should know 05:23 — Tony background: blue-collar Buffalo + early “entrepreneur roots” (paper route, driveways, grass) 06:00 — Parents + upbringing + being the only Italian family in an Irish neighborhood 06:50 — “Boardroom to factory floor” comfort as a leadership superpower 07:07 — College path: biochem → decides against med school → USC opportunity 08:20 — USC + energy/sustainability roots before it had a name 08:50 — JPL/Caltech work: solid polymer electrolytes + Mars-era applied R&D 10:07 — JPL geek-out: what JPL does + Tony’s work context 11:42 — Engineering culture: redundancy, testing, quality mindset 11:56 — Funny JPL story: Tony’s dad jokes “it’s all fake, filmed here” 12:26 — The Martian detail: radioisotope thermoelectric generator explanation 12:59 — First startup failure: university IP / cap table misalignment lessons 14:23 — Timeline bridge: how that failure pushed Tony into VC + founding MHI Energy Partners 15:48 — The Phononic founding story starts: 2007–08 crisis + job search 16:46 — Venrock mentor moment: “world doesn’t need another VC” challenge 17:00 — Thesis: semiconductors transformed everything except cooling/heating 17:41 — 3-month “liars and thieves” tour: universities + semiconductor ecosystem due diligence 18:20 — Thermoelectrics vs vapor compression (what makes solid-state different) 19:16 — The pitch day: Lehman collapse on the screens while Tony presents 20:45 — Term sheet drop: $2M commitment + “founded the company that afternoon” 21:33 — Why Venrock matters / halo effect (Scot commentary) 21:59 — Why North Carolina: portfolio company move + Tony relocates 23:26 — Why RTP/NC State won: Centennial Campus enabled fast lab/fab buildout --- This episode of Triangle Tweener Talks is hosted by Scot Wingo, presented and produced by Triangle Tweener Fund, with creative assets and design support from Walk West.

Brice Englert on Building TradePending: From “No”s to Product-Market Fit in Auto Tech | PART 1 of 2

In this episode (Part 1), Brice shares the early story: how the idea formed, how he got the first version built, what the market told him at the beginning, and what he did to push through the inevitable uncertainty that comes with building from scratch. This is the origin story and early foundation of TradePending, before the scaling years. You’ll hear: How Brice got started and why he chose automotive as the arenaWhat the earliest product looked like (and what didn’t work first)The “crowded market” problem, and how Brice found an opening anywayEarly execution lessons: getting something live, getting customers, and learning fastThe mindset shift from idea → real business momentumTradePending’s story is a reminder that the early stage isn’t about having the perfect model, it’s about building something real, listening hard, and creating momentum one customer at a time.
