Connecticut Innovations

Earlier this month, our CEO Matthew McCooe hopped off his bike and onto the streets of Manhattan, walking our interns through the heart of New York City's innovation ecosystem. 🏙️   From Vesey Ventures to Curacity, Spice Expeditions, LP to Forum Ventures, lunch at Gramercy Tavern with Inning One Ventures, and then Bullish and Copyleaks to wrap things up, the day was packed with purpose and discovery. 🗽   #ConnecticutInnovations #InternDay #VentureCapital #Innovation #NewYorkCity #SummerInterns

A proper New Haven welcome includes pizza. 🍕   Thank you to Life-Science SPRINTS in Connecticut for inviting the CI team to BAR Pizza for an exciting night of networking with other innovation-focused interns across the state.   Through SPRINTS, interns gain real exposure to Connecticut's growing life sciences industry, build connections with leaders across the state, and explore what a future in bioscience can actually look like.    #LifeSciences #Bioscience #Interns #ConnecticutInnovations Madeline Wines Christopher Reuter Alleigh Michalek Ella Heudorfer Rachel Autumn Lee Simon Hermann Max M.

Connecticut Innovations took on New York City 🗽 — and it did not disappoint. Our interns spent a full day with innovative founders, operators, and teams across the CI network — learning, connecting, and seeing the ecosystem in action. 💡 Every year, this trip does something no Zoom call can: it brings our intern cohort together, puts them face-to-face with the people building the future, and makes the CI network feel real. 🚀 A huge thank you to everyone who opened their doors (and kept us hydrated in the heat 😉).
