Yesterday we held our first Open House event for our upcoming Summer 2026 Internship for high school students interested in entrepreneurship, investing, and the world of venture capital.
It was a great afternoon filled with food, thoughtful conversations, and an engaging panel discussion featuring our team members, Ben Jen, Andrew Fallon, and Steven Tunison. Both students and parents had the opportunity to hear firsthand about how early stage investing works, what it takes to build and fun startups, and how careers and finance and innovation can take shape.
At 1435 Capital, we believe that fostering curiosity and connecting with the next generation of leaders is vital to building a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem here in New Jersey. a big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a lively and inspiring discussion. Our next open house in January will likely be virtual with another in person event following in February.
