Yesterday, we had the incredible opportunity to take part as a host and co-sponsor in the AI Hackathon at the Montgomery Innovation Hub hosted in collaboration with James Barrood and Roopak Naresh Gupta. The prompt was “How to make New Jersey more affordable,” a vital issue championed by our governor, Mikie Sherrill. Students from across the state ranging from middle school through post-graduates worked in groups to create a solution on how they believe they could address the issue.
Between students participating in person and remotely, it was a great way to reinforce why we’re proud to be part of this growing ecosystem by supporting innovation from idea to investment and helping the next generation of entrepreneurs turn bold visions into reality.
A huge thanks to Jim Barrood, Roopak Gupta, the Montgomery Innovation Hub, the 1435 Capital team, and the volunteers that made the event possible. We look forward to continuing to support initiatives that drive technological progress in community building in New Jersey.
