National Intern Day started bright and early with a spin class before work. 🚲
Our interns clipped in, turned up the resistance and brought plenty of energy before most of us had finished our first coffee.
We were also excited to have interns from our portfolio companies and partners join us @yale_ventures @greaternhchamber and Normunity! Thank you to @ride_wheelhouse for having us, and a special thank you to @olmobagels for fueling us afterward.

What does an early career in the startup world look like? 🚀
Our summer interns sat down with Lacey Hall of Coinbax, Nicole Dostalek of @lookopticusa and Joseph Lallier of @hivetech.ai for Startups Unfiltered, an honest conversation about career paths, startup life and growing within a fast-moving company.
With Nicole and Joe returning as former CI interns, the panel also brought things full circle.

Good conversations, great food, fresh headshots, and a room full of Connecticut interns building their networks. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday. ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us for CI’s Summer Intern Happy Hour! We loved welcoming interns from across Connecticut’s innovation ecosystem for an evening of connection, conversation, and community.
A special thank you to @shakenandstirredcatering for the delicious catering and @zmimiphotography for the LinkedIn-ready headshots.

From venture deals to escape room clues, our interns know how to problem-solve. 🔓
Last week our summer interns headed to Escape New Haven for an afternoon of teamwork and quick thinking. They left with the clues solved, the door unlocked, and everyone still speaking to each other! 🤣
Thank you to @escapenewhaven for hosting a great afternoon of connection and collaboration outside the office.
