Here’s where you’ll find us over the next few weeks:
Yale Innovation Summit May 28-29, New Haven, CT
UPDATE: We were elated to be awarded an audience choice award for Kelly’s live pitch in the arts track at this year’s Yale Innovation Summit! Being part of this event is a win, no matter what. The summit convenes the Northeast’s innovation and entrepreneurship community for two days of impactful conversations, purposeful networking, and pitch competitions across six tracks of programming. It has become one of the region’s biggest innovation events, drawing investors, founders, and industry partners to Yale’s campus to create new connections and opportunities.
The Investing Game June 4th, 5:30 – 8 p.m., Stamford, CT
Kelly will be a contestant in this fun take on the classic gameshow The Dating Game. The Investing Game is a live, game-show style pitch competition where the founders are anonymous. Here’s how it works: After a networking hour, a venture capitalist will take the stage, ready to invest in a founder. But the entrepreneurs are hidden. Three founders will answer curated questions in a blind Q&A format. No names, no decks, just raw insight, strategy and personality. The VC picks the founder who sparks the most interest, sight unseen. The winner gets a $2,000 grant and more!
