Start-Up Event Organizer Encouraged by Turnout

Janis Collins, a former company start-up specialist at JPMorgan Chase (and member of Westport’s Board of Finance), was organizer and host of tonight’s “Juice—Connecting Food Startups, Mentors, and Investors” event at the new Westport Innovation Hub at 20 Ketchum St. “This ‘pilot’ event is an opportunity for entrepreneurs in the field of food innovation to meet with business mentors and venture investors—all in the same location at the same time,” she said. Collins added, “The high level of receptivity at this initial gathering encourages me to schedule another one in the near future.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
