Newport, Rhode Island is famous for recreation. Now, investors get a chance to mine a startup ecosystem that has some truly unique advantages at The Newport Investor Summit, September 26-27. Situated between Boston and New York with a more affordable cost of living and some of the world’s leading educational institutions, the small state of Rhode Island has been making big gains in the innovation economy. It’s been helped along by a new innovation center located downtown, and organizations like RI Hub that support entrepreneurs and a growing list of local investors who are increasingly being joined by their New York and Boston brethren to find great values and leading innovation. The Newport Investor Summit is RI Hub’s capstone event, where the top 36 businesses (out of hundreds submitted) will have the chance to share their vision and pitch early investors. In this episode, we talk with Pat Sabatino, the co-Chair of the Newport Investor Summit and serial entrepreneur, as well as two amazing companies that this RI Hub ecosystem has helped reach the next level. Carlos Ventura from Feast and Fettle, a gourmet level meal delivery service, and Ben Sorkin from FluxMarine, makers of pioneering electric outboard motor technology, join the conversation.
