March’s Featured Tech On Tap Speaker: Laura Boccanfuso

Join us as Laura Boccanfuso, founder and CEO of Van Robotics, shares her journey from academia to entrepreneurship and the hard-earned lessons from building an educational robotics company.


Tech on Tap is a monthly community gathering to connect with Columbia’s tech scene and learn from pros who have built, scaled, and exited successful companies .

Every third Thursday evening we bring in an expert to share insights on the challenges that can make or break your tech startup—from incorporation decisions to scaling strategies.

It's networking with purpose: connect with fellow founders & tech professionals while learning from entrepreneurs who've guided successful companies through these exact decisions.

Tech on Tap is for you if:

  • You're building, growing, or scaling a tech company.

  • You're interested in starting a tech business.

  • You're a technology professional or student looking to connect with others in Columbia's tech scene.
