When the Innovation Places project was first announced, it was no surprise that Hartford was selected as one of Connecticut's designated innovation hubs. Several years later, the Innovation Places project has poured millions into growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the state capitol, and we've interviewed several companies and organizations that have benefitted from this effort to bolster local startups.

Our journey begins with Launch Hartford, the organization managing the Innovation Places project, as we discuss how this program has helped jumpstart local business activity despite the unplanned pandemic.

This episode was sponsored by CTNext and Connecticut Innovations.

CTStartup Episode 4: Escape New Haven- Throwing Money at Problems

Sometimes we just need to be random and that is what this podcast is all about.  We talk about some feedback we got on the podcast, the new Apple iWatch, the startup ecosystems around the country.  You will also find out why Eric got so excited watching the Bachelorette and a new Indiegogo campaign for a new wearable tech specially designed for men.

We will be switching up the style of the show from time to time.  Next week we will return with a another interview of a CT startup.  


CTStartup Episode 5- The Random Show

The CTStartUP podcasts is all about connecting people who are passionate about the growing Connecticut startup ecosystem. The story of how CTStartUP podcast got started is not unlike how startups begin.

IT BEGAN WITH COFFEE

Two entrepreneurs Mike Kauffman and Eric Francis had been meeting for coffee and discussing everything from what they were working on to what they wanted to see for Connecticut. The two connected over the fact that they are avid podcast listeners and thought it would be fun to start a podcast interviewing entrepreneurs and startups that are based in CT. At the same time Mike and Eric were talking about this, two startups lawyers were having a similar conversation. 

Dave Menard and James McLaughlin lawyers for Murtha Cullina LLP are also avid podcast listeners and thought about doing a podcast interviewing startups as well. Then one magical day during a meeting between Eric and Dave they both mentioned their ideas about a podcast interviewing startups and just like that the wheels began turning. 

Soon after that meeting, Mike, Dave, James, and Eric got together to sketch out the idea of the CTStartUP podcast. Just over a month later they were recording shows and establishing the team. 

WHAT IT IS & WHAT WE HOPE IT TO BE

The CTStartUP podcast is a representation of how the Connecticut startup ecosystem is getting stronger and how when you meet the right people magic can happen. Our hopes are that others within the CT will be able to have the same experience we have had in getting CTStartUP off the ground. We want our listeners to use the podcast to learn about the exciting things happening in the ecosystem and to reach out to our guests. 

We are excited to be on this journey and are looking forward to Connecting Connecticut through the Startup ecosystem.
