Shaw Circle is a promising new fintech startup that is located at Charleston Digital’s Flagship @ Charleston Tech Center. Shaw Circle, a private institutional fund management company, was officially formed in 2021 by four recent graduates of the University of South Carolina’s prestigious Finance Scholars Program and is already turning heads. While most graduates from the USC’s prestigious Finance Scholars Program move on to work at big Wall Street firms, Shaw Circle’s principals made the decision in 2021 to form their startup with their final tough year of education still to complete.
In 2024, the South Carolina state legislature earmarked $15 million in the state budget to facilitate access to quantum computing within the Palmetto State. Shaw Circle was the first recipient of that grant money.
