What we’re about
NJ Startups is fostering the growth of a startup community, connecting efforts and resources around our state to propel New Jersey to the national entrepreneurial conversation, as part of the Lean Jumpstart Accelerator at the NJIT - Martin Tuchman School of Management.
Physical and virtual meetings offer plenty of opportunities to engage, collaborate, and exchange ideas to build a community that supports the endeavors of its members.
There isn’t a single entrepreneur that has found success on their own, we hope you will come out and find others to join you on your journey.
