Connecting FAU Alumni and Friends to FAU Startups

Welcome to the FAU Tech Runway Investor Network (FAU TRIN)

FAU Tech Runway Investor Network (FAU TRIN) is a professionally led network dedicated to improving the investment experience for both entrepreneurs and investors who share a mutual affinity through their affiliation with FAU.
FAU TRIN will grow to encompass a large, national network of FAU alumni, faculty, parents, and friends-of-the-university, all sharing their experience and knowledge across multiple industries, technologies, business/revenue models and stages during the investment process. FAU TRIN is above all investment return-driven.
Our goal is to accelerate access to capital and financially back the most promising entrepreneurial managers sourced from FAU’s broad ecosystem. The experience, quality, and completeness of management teams is often the best predictor of ultimate success of companies and the angel investors who back them.
