Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs

No one builds something great on their own. Why do some companies get backed while others get overlooked? Often, it comes down to relationships: the trust you earn with investors, funders, and partners, and the honest feedback that sharpens your story. 
 
​On Tuesday, October 27, our speakers will share hard-won insights on raising capital and securing grants, including how to grow the relationships that open doors. Whether you’re building a company, investing, or considering either, this evening is for you. No experience required, and everyone is welcome. Come for the conversation, stay for the food, drinks, and a chance to connect. 
 
​We will also host a donation drive for<a href="https://www.cge-nj.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Center for Great Expectations</a>&nbsp;in North Brunswick, New Jersey. They are looking for donations of Johnson &amp; Johnson Head to Toe Baby Wash and Baby Lotion. Target and Walmart gift cards will also provide immediate needs when new residents arrive.Hosted by <a href="https://www.biolabs.io/princeton-biolabs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Princeton Innovation Center BioLabs</a> and <a href="https://lifesciencecares.org/new-york/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Life Science Cares NY</a>/NJ.
