CAMEnt NYC Chapter: Evening Mixer at Newlab
Join us for our first evening mixer for the Cambridge network in NYC on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 6:30 pm at Newlab in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Hosted by Cambridge alum Alex Russell (Trinity College, 2017), founder and CEO of Nothing Special, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow alumni and hear firsthand about the journey of building a physical product startup. Alex will share insights into the challenges and successes of launching his kava food science and beverage company and discuss how Newlab’s resources have played a critical role in his company’s growth.
We’re also excited to welcome Christine Paglialunga, Vice President of Assets at the NYC Economic Development Company (EDC), who will discuss how the agency can support NYC-based startups.
Enjoy kava beverages and light snacks, provided free of charge, while networking with a diverse group of Cambridge alumni and their guests. We look forward to seeing you in Brooklyn!
