Itineraries

January 20, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

Join us on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:00–1:00 PM for Itineraries: Science Talk, a hybrid lunchtime program that highlights the journey of early-stage, science-focused startups. Hosted by First Flight Venture Center, this series is designed for entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and members of the innovation ecosystem to connect, learn, and grow together. Each session features a founder or team from a science-driven startup, many of whom are current residents of First Flight, sharing their path, challenges, and future direction. Just like the name suggests, Itineraries offers a look into each company’s route: where they’ve been, where they are now, and where they’re headed next.


This Month’s Itineraries Spotlight: Elaine Bolle, RTP Capital Associates

Join us for an inside look at how entrepreneurs can navigate the complex world of early-stage funding and investor expectations. This month, we welcome Elaine D. Bolle, an experienced investor, entrepreneur, and Director of RTP Capital Associates, an active angel investing network in the Triangle.

Elaine will share her firsthand experience as both a founder who has successfully exited venture-backed companies and a seasoned investor. She will discuss funding strategies and an investor-readiness framework designed to help early-stage startups prepare for growth. Whether you are currently seeking capital or preparing your business for future investment, you’ll gain practical insights, tips, and lessons learned from an executive who has led organizations ranging from startups to $750M+ enterprises.

Come ready to learn how to position your venture for success, understand the investor mindset, and build the strategic foundation necessary to secure funding and build momentum for launch.
