COVID-19 sent the masses back to the comfort of their homes to keep the daily grind going. As time goes on, eventually we’ll find ourselves back in cubicles, co-working spaces and offices just like the good old days. If you’re a building owner/developer, you must ask yourself: What can I do to keep any potential spread/contamination from happening right now? Indoor air quality is an issue that HAS to be tackled prior to workplace reopening. Join Ellie Amirnasr, CEO of qlair—a startup helping facility management professionals be more efficient in their building operations and indoor environmental control—as she discusses the keys to a safe and habitable workplace that lunch and learns & coffee breaks can get back to happening in.

Join Rohit Malhotra, Founder and Executive Director at the Center for Civic Innovation, and KP Reddy, Founder and CEO of Shadow Ventures, for a fireside chat. They’ll be discussing innovation, government, community, startups, and how all of those intersect. If you’re a startup or professional navigating this area, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Join Warren Rosebraugh, Director of Solution Architects at Schneider Electric, for a deep dive into integrated healthcare facilities infrastructure. In this discussion, Warren will examine the four primary facilities infrastructures in a hospital: mechanical, electrical, information and communications technology, and security. He will address how, when designed and executed with cross-functionality in mind, this facility infrastructure can improve a hospital’s financial performance, patient and staff safety, employee retention, patient satisfaction, productivity, and simplify regulatory practices. Integrated healthcare facilities infrastructure converges core infrastructure systems to create a safer, more productive, and energy-efficient Environment of Care.

You know you want to invest in transformative technology—but once you find a promising startup, do you know how to diligence them? Matt Ohlman, CTO of Shadow Ventures, is here to help. This series will give investors a foundation upon which they can evaluate technology startups for investment. In this second episode, we’ll examine what it takes for a CTO and dev team to succeed. When you invest in tech, you’re not only investing in the product; you’re investing in the skills and knowledge of the CTO and dev team. So how can you identify which teams are set up for success and which will likely fail? Matt’s advice will get you on the path towards choosing a profitable investment.

Keynote by Colleen Chen (Innovation Project Manager) and Ashley Touchton (Design and Startup Strategist) of Orange Sparkle Ball.

Testing new solutions, especially ones that have been sourced from outside an organization, is overwhelming and often involves many departments and stakeholders. Technology pilots provide small, short, low-risk tests that allow a jumping-off point for future partnership or testing. Join us for this post-Pitchathon event and learn from experts on how to deploy pilots with the startups you heard pitch.

You know you want to invest in transformative technology—but once you find a promising startup, do you know how to diligence them? Matt Ohlman, CTO of Shadow Ventures, is here to help. This series will give investors a foundation upon which they can evaluate technology startups for investment. In this first episode, we’ll get down to the nitty-gritty of technical debt. What exactly is technical debt, and why is it such an important consideration when investing in a tech startup? How can you identify startups that are likely to fall victim to technical debt, so that your money doesn’t disappear into a black hole with them? Matt will put you on the path towards finding startups that prioritize solid code over speedy product delivery.

Intellectual Property can be a daunting topic for many up and coming startups to face. Is your innovative concept protected so you, and only you, can leverage the value you are bringing to customers? The more startup founders know about whether and to what extent patents and other forms of intellectual property will–and will not–help them capture the value created from their hard work, the better they can integrate IP Strategy into their business strategy. You should be leading your IP team – as opposed to being led by them, which is often the case.

Join Jackie Hutter, Principal of The Hutter Group, as she discusses.
