Wrapping up the business season, NJEF held its last networking event leading into the summer break which traditionally is an evening celebrating entrepreneurship. A variety of entrepreneurs game enough to practice their funding pitches in front of a friendly audience of peers, consultants, a couple of angel investors and a vc were on hand.
In addition to entrepreneurs such as Mark Fitzsimmons, CEO & Founder of Arxscan and serial entrepreneur, and former corporate executive Sue Perotty of KnowledgeFlow, the first and second place winners of the Rutgers business plan competition presented. The first place winner was The Intersect Fund, a not for profit venture that provides both microlending and consulting services to urban entrepreneurs. The second place winner was StratiMed Group, a company offering a handheld device for conducting patient surveys while the patients are present at the doctor’s office.
Jeff Milanette of Innovative Partners and Dan Conley of NJAngels host the monthly meetings. They noted that the funding season slows for the summer and their Forum will start up again in September.
