Hi Greentown Community,

Happy spring! It’s so nice to feel the days getting longer and warmer—before we know it, we’ll be back to hosting community coffee and donuts in the 28 Dane courtyard. Think warm thoughts!

As always, there’s even more happening than we can fit here—be sure to explore our Ecosystem Events and Opportunities Tracker Airtable here for curated opportunities, pitch events, and more.

Best,
