关于我们
Friday Coffee Meetup (FCM) brings together Pasadena’s innovation and startup community on the first Friday of every month in the comfortable environment of FoundrSpace in Old Town Pasadena. Cohosted by CALE at Caltech Here you will learn from leaders in the tech, entrepreneurship and venture capital community; experience presentations from dynamic speakers; and engage with other innovators. For more than ten years, Friday Coffee Meetup has been where Pasadena’s innovation community gathered weekly, and then post pandemic monthly. Today, with a revived partnership with Innovate Pasadena, Friday Coffee Meetup continues the legacy of connecting and invigorating our community with programs of authentic, inspiring and informative presentations and valuable welcoming and personal networking. Friday Coffee Meetup is open to Pasadena’s entire innovation community, including (but certainly not limited to) entrepreneurs, programmers, chief technology officers (CTOs), venture capitalists (VCs), angel investors, thought leaders, and more. Each meeting includes a monthly presentation from a leader in the innovation community, followed by Q&A, and then time for meet-the-speaker in person and informal networking.

How hybrid tooling utilizing innovative technology reduces costs & accelerates production ? Real-world applications & lessons ? How startups can validate ideas without massive upfront investments Ami’s experience spans hardware startups, manufacturing, and international trade, making her the perfect guide to help entrepreneurs navigate this evolving landscape. As an ambassador for Women in 3D Printing and founding Chairlady of the Hong Kong 3D Printing Association, she’s also a passionate advocate for mentorship and inclusion in the industry.
