Description

Come celebrate the creation of Launch NH and the partnership with the Softeq Venture Studio. The purpose is to stimulate early-stage innovation in the region to help cultivate a successful startup community, create jobs, and diversify the economy in New Hampshire and beyond. Launch NH will leverage the Softeq Venture Studio platform which will invest in qualified startups from within and outside New Hampshire through a $5M commitment to the overall $40M Softeq Venture Fund. The Softeq Venture Studio is an accelerator program that de-risks investments by combining engineering with startup formation services to help founders build real, scalable, and investable technologies. The program provides mentors, engineering resources, and workspaces to enhance visibility and help founders connect with the investment community. This marks the first expansion of the Softeq Venture Studio into a new state, and both parties believe that New Hampshire has all the ingredients needed while being an underserved market. Come learn more and hear from key stakeholders from public and private entities supporting this initiative. 5:00 to 6:00 PM Happy Hour Mixer 6:00 to 6:30 PM Program 6:30 to 7:00 PM Networking Program Speaker List (30 minutes) Michael Simchik - New Hampshire Investor Chris Howard - Softeq Venture Fund General Partner Billy Grandy - Head of Softeq Venture Studio, Fund Managing Partner Jamie Simchik - New Hampshire Investor and Owner of HRKNSScowork Terry Anderton - Local Entrepreneur Tracey Dodenhoff - Local Entrepreneur Ian Grant - Education — Executive Director of Peter T.
