NJ Founders & Funders is organized by the NJEDA to facilitate warm introductions between innovative emerging New Jersey companies and sophisticated angel & institutional investors. Our mission is to help grow the innovation ecosystem. Hosted twice per year, venture capital investors are invited to meet with a pre-determined group of companies for 10-minute, one-on-one sessions to discuss strategy, business models and funding opportunities.
Since 2014, the program has hosted more than 300 innovative start-ups and curated more than 3,600 one-on-one introductions with angel and institutional investors. As you might imagine, there is a tremendous pool of entrepreneurs and investors eager to get back into the market and it is our pleasure to facilitate those warm introductions.
