Attention Innovators and Dreamers:

What if we told you pigs could fly? The Flying Pig Society was created to inspire innovation. Our mission is to foster a mindset and community of skilled innovators and entrepreneurs. If you want to learn the skills necessary to innovate solutions to problems worth solving, come fly with us!

How does a startup engage investors and secure financing? Join us for this special hands-on workshop where Josh Nelson, MBA will share tips and strategies for getting investors to invest in you. Come to the workshop and learn how a startup can take the critical step of securing financing. Josh will also talk about the programs available through NY Ventures for funding startups.

NEW! Open Mic: Are you a founder looking for help? Are you a student looking to join a startup? Before the start of the workshop, we will have an open mic session where founders can take 60 seconds to recruit support from members of the audience.

Free and open to the public. Please join us in the RPI Biotech Auditorium. Food and drinks will be served.

Where pigs can fly, there are no boundaries. Unleash your inner innovator.
