*** Sponsored by CHAAC Ventures and Fitz Gate Ventures ***
Chaac Ventures is a seed and early stage venture capital fund focused on investing in Princeton's rapidly growing entrepreneurial ecosystem (undergraduates, alums, professors, etc.). Chaac was founded in early 2015 by Luke Armour (P’13), and is often the ‘first-check' investor. To lean more, visit us at www.chaacventures.com, or send an email to bayo@chaacventures.com
Fitz Gate Ventures, founded by Mark Poag '93 and Jim Cohen '86, invests a majority of its capital in early stage companies where a Princetonian is a founder or member of the senior management team. Through its 200 "Friends of Fitz” advisors (faculty, administrators, trustees, alumni and students) as well as the broader worldwide Princeton alumni network, Fitz Gate leverages the Princeton community to help it discover the best startups and then help its founders obtain customers, capital, etc. Fitz Gate’s portfolio companies have been profiled in the New York Times, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times and have received follow-on funding at premiums from Sequoia, Canaan, Tribeca, Andreessen Horowitz, Citi Ventures, Focus Financial Partners (KKR) and other leading VC firms after Fitz Gate invested. Because of the success of its first fund, Fitz Gate is ahead of plan and already raising its second fund. (www.fitzgate.com).

Three CT alumni organizations share Alumni
Council Award!
"Engineering Patient Safety"
The three organizations (PAAFC, PAAEC and PACC) have been working together
for the past few years. Our mutual support was noticed outside of
Connecticut. At the 2011 Reunions in May, the three Connecticut alumni
organizations were awarded the Committee on Regional Associations Award for
Innovation. The Alumni Council cited the three associations “for
institutionalizing the practice of ongoing collaboration with neighboring
regional associations to engage all Princeton alumni living in the state of
Connecticut.”
