Connecting Tech & LifeSci entrepreneurs

w/ Expert Mentor Meetings

A flexible, customized process for entrepreneurs ready to scale their startup and connect with capital.

We received investment, attracted executives on panels as employees, were introduced to future board members, improved the pitch, made friends … etc. etc. as a result of the Connect Springboard experience. I couldn’t recommend the program more enthusiastically.

The Springboard experience was extremely valuable, particularly in our case where our founders had limited business/operational experience, and no experience with pitching. Without Springboard, we would not be kicking off a seed round with potential investors.

Connect and the Springboard process was instrumental in developing a successful business plan and funding pitches.
