Rutgers University’s Center for Urban Entrepreneurship & Economic Development will hold its Black and Latino Tech Initiative Launch (BLT). The free event offers black and Hispanic tech entrepreneurs valuable advice on preparing their businesses for an accelerator program as well as on-site networking opportunities with venture capitalists and accelerators. Companies at the BLT Launch will have their business models and other aspects of their business reviewed. The event will funnel selected businesses into accelerator programs. Entrepreneurs accepted into an accelerator will receive matching funds up to $10,000. Rutgers encourages black and Latino investors, scientists, inventors, and tech entrepreneurs—including developers, programmers, business development, and marketing professionals—from New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut to attend.
