In November, the CEO of dronemaker AgEagle told analysts the plan was to consolidate to the Triangle. But the firm still lists a Wichita HQ - and isn't answering questions about its Raleigh operation. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
Fun fact I learned this week: @ScotWingo's first investment - long before the Triangle Tweener Fund - was in WedPics, a #Raleigh startup founded by @ImJustinMiller bizjournals.com/triangle/inn…
Whelp. I think the fire alarm is loud enough. With @TriBizHealth having a parking lot party.
I've heard from several entrepreneurs who pulled out of SVB, opting for a "Too-Big-To-Fail Bank." And some say they're not happy with the choice. Could a community bank be the answer? bizjournals.com/triangle/new… att: @bizjournals
A group of Ford dealerships say Ford's new EV Program forces them to pay for costly infrastructure - and could cause some of them to close up shop altogether. bizjournals.com/triangle/new… $F att: @bizjournals

FYI, RDU flyers: JetBlue is trimming New York flights in response to FAA staffing issues. We checked - and there are no updates on its RDU-JFK service - at least not yet. Here's what JetBlue told us today:
I randomly met Nick Galifianakis my very first week at TBJ. Sorry to see this.
Nick Galifianakis served NC in Congress, had history-making clash with Jesse Helms newsobserver.com/news/politi…
A PrecisionHawk exec told us earlier this month that its former CEO's claim that the company was acquired by Norwegian company Field was "unauthorized" and "inaccurate." The same exec re-posted the news today - that PrecisionHawk was acquired. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
The James Beard Awards snub is unlikely to slow down the Triangle's rising status as a foodie destination, reports @TriBizRetail. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
Just spoke with a VP at Frontier about why it's bringing another two new routes to @RDUAirport this summer. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
Just got off of a candid, one-on-one call with Frank Holding Jr., the CEO of First Citizens. We talked about the SVB brand - and what entrepreneurs can expect from the combination. bizjournals.com/triangle/new… $FCNCA #SVB att: @bizjournals
Coker Jr's attorneys argue securing his bond w/ family real estate ensures he's not a flight risk. But prosecutors say that since he "remained in Thailand, allowing his 80-year-old father to answer for their collective misdeeds,” it's not a great argument. bizjournals.com/triangle/new…
Why is First Citizens so confident it can buy a failed bank? Because it's done it before. A look at what it bought before SVB: bizjournals.com/triangle/new… att: @ncbankers
