Hiring Will Soon Be a Top Priority for 43North’s Newest Cohort in 2024
Five companies won $1 million investments on October 12th at the 43North—a Buffalo-based startup accelerator—ninth annual startup competition.
Over the next several months, the winners will begin settling into their new workspaces inside Seneca One in downtown Buffalo and relocate to the Queen City from across the country.
Once they hit the ground running—and with significant new funding under their belts—hiring will be a top priority as they build their business.
