Wednesday, September 27th, 2023
05:30 PM - 08:00 PM
Connecticut Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation
For investors, this is one of the most important skills to develop. Most of the pitches that you hear sound great, but will the team really be able to use your money to make money?
And for founders, it’s equally important to understand how potential investors are sizing-up your team and your venture.
In this session, Craig Mullett will share some criteria that he has developed for evaluating early-stage companies through his experience as an Angel Investor. He’ll also share a framework for using those criteria to efficiently evaluate the investment opportunity associated with early-stage companies both during and AFTER the initial pitch.
A panel of active Angel Investors will also share their experiences in evaluating, and investing in early-stage startups.
Please join us for an informative and engaging evening with peers from Hartford’s growing innovation community.

5:30 - 6:00 pm - Arrival & Networking

In April 2021, the UConn Board of Trustees approved the creation of a master’s degree in FinTech (financial technology), allowing the School of Business to join the ranks of only a handful of universities around the globe to offer the specialized program. The program offers lessons in advanced business analytics, technology solutions and financial services. The first cohort began their studies in Spring 2022.
2020
Amphenol, a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Wallingford, Conn., created a $1 million accounting scholarship in honor of its late CFO Diana Reardon.

Thomas Katsouleas, a leading plasma scientist with deep academic roots in teaching and research, becomes UConn's 16th President in February. "Increasingly, having a great business school has become more and more central to being a great university," Katsouleas said shortly after joining the university.
David Souder is appointed interim dean of the School of Business.

UConn's Stamford campus opens its first dormitory, a six-story, 116-unit building at 900 Washington Boulevard, just two blocks south of the main campus. The Fairfield-County campus serves a variety of majors, including business students, and the long-anticipated transition from a commuter- to residential- campus was widely celebrated.
Entrepreneur Peter J. Werth establishes the Werth Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, pledging $22.5 million to UConn. The School of Business is a key partner in the endeavor. Werth, who is not an alumnus, said he has come to believe in both UConn’s mission and the extraordinary potential of its students.
2016
The Board of Trustees vote to extend the lease at the Graduate Business Learning Center (GBLC) at 100 Constitution Plaza in Hartford and to add two additional floors to the existing space. The decision creates a long-term presence for the graduate programs in the heart of Hartford and reflects the surge in demand for specialty master's degree programs.
