Springboard| Springboard Spotlight

CONNECT’s Springboard Spotlight is a new program showcasing the best of the most recent, and fundable CONNECT Springboard graduates in the Life Sciences, High-Tech, and Clean-Tech industries.  The companies selected to participate have not only successfully completed the Springboard program, but developed such a strong competency during their experience that they have risen to the “top of their class.”

During the Spotlight, capital providers will enjoy an exclusive, invitation-only luncheon while the selected companies complete a 10-minute presentation followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.  At this time, the capital providers can ask detailed questions about the company, it’s products and future plans in an effort to determine if it is an investment fit.  Upon completion of the Spotlight, capital providers are given further company details and contact information to pursue as appropriate.

“The overall experience was very positive. I enjoyed spending time learning about the new companies that have graduated from the Springboard program and how they have evolved through the mentorship they received from CONNECT. In fact, I referred one of the companies to my partner and he hopes to be in discussions with them soon”
