A Virtual Monthly Pitch Network Between Frontier Tech Startups & Investors

Pitch Events: 6
Startups Applied: 50

I co-founded the Frontier Tech Investment Network (FTIN for short) with the rest of the LightSpeed Innovations team. FTIN is a virtual monthly pitch network  that we established to connect experienced investors with early stage startups aiming to commercialize ‘Deep Tech’, so anything from drones, AR/VR, autonomous vehicles, bioengineering, genomics, nanotech to space 2.0, robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, and other innovative technologies in new and early markets.
