Industry: Investor Event; Innovation Accelerator
Location: Providence, Rhode Island
There may be no better place for investors to find innovative companies than at leading colleges and universities that not only develop the tech, but also lead the charge into the marketplace.
Brown University has become a big player in tech innovation, including life sciences, software, Greentech and more. They put Brown developed technology first, but partner with innovators and entrepreneurs everywhere to launch and lead solutions into the marketplace that can solve some of society’s biggest problems. Their @Brown Innovation Showcase this month will feature some amazing startups and some companies that are a little further along.
In this episode of the Angel Nest podcast, we talk to Brian Demers of Brown Technology Innovations (BTI) and learn about his event September 26 that will give investors a chance to look under the hood at what’s brewing with startups on College Hill in Providence, RI.
And for the investor prospective on what’s happening at Brown, we are joined by Thorne Sparkman, the Managing Director of The Slater Fund, a not-for-profit seed fund dedicated to supporting new venture development in Rhode Island.
