Thinking about starting a technology firm? Got a growing business? Looking for interns? Or, do you just want to connect with other entrepreneurs and investors?  If so, then please meet up at Tech @ Brattleboro event on Thursday, September 15th at The Marina Restaurant in Brattleboro, VT from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. 

In partnership with the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation and Marlboro College, several private and non-profit investment and economic development organizations from around Vermont are visiting the Brattleboro area to engage, share and learn from local entrepreneurs, business owners and investors.

Tech @ Brattleboro is a “no speeches” style of networking event modeled after the very effective Emerging Growth Company networking events recently started in Burlington and Newport. “We are excited to continue this series around the state to help technology entrepreneurs and business owners connect with resources, collaborate, and ultimately spur job growth in Vermont.” said Andrew Stickney, Vice President of the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET), “Southern Vermont faces tremendous challenge and change, and we want to be a part of the team that together, can solve economic problems.”

Organizers for this second Tech @ series include the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, Fresh Tracks Capital, LP, Marlboro College, the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies, North Country Angels, and the Vermont Technology Council, among others.  Following the Brattleboro event, the next Tech @ series event is being planned for White River Junction in November.

“Tech @ Brattleboro is the perfect chance to look toward the future and seize opportunities that are in front of us for innovation and entrepreneurship, in spite of the difficult events of the past few weeks in this area,” said Jeffery Lewis, Executive Director, Brattleboro Credit Development Corporation.  “This will be a great event for entrepreneurs, inventors, executives, and investors to continue moving their plans forward in an informal setting."
