Creators & Innovators Celebration ReCap

Recognizing milestone moments and those who helped make them happen.

Being an entrepreneur can be lonely, and this is one reason why i2n conceived and hosted its new “Creators & Innovators Celebration” on January 30 with 55 guests at the Mission Capitalist Club in Lafayette Hill. This wasn’t an awards ceremony—it was a chance for startup leaders, entrepreneurs, partners, and supporters to connect, celebrate achievements, and recognize key milestones in our innovation ecosystem.

Congratulations to our i2n entrepreneurs and partners who were honored for their recent milestones.

  • David Yonce, CEO of Cogwear
  • Susan Springsteen, CEO and Co-Founder of H2O Connected
  • Leo Dauito, Program Director of Penn State Great Valley and Tony Mattie, Director of Entrepreneurship of Penn State Brandywine for the development and implementation of LionCage Pitch Competition
  • Adam Salamon, co-founder of Pression Medical
  • Todd Wallach, CEO of SOLUtion Medical

i2n Board Business

We raised a glass (literally) to Guy Fardone of Bridgepointe Technologies as he concluded his term as i2n Chair. Our sincere thanks and appreciation for driving the i2n mission. We are excited to welcome Christopher Wright, of McCausland Keen & Buckman as he succeeds Guy as Chair of i2n along with Thomas Burke, AOIC, as Co-Chair.

A special shout out to Michael Carter, The Mission Capitalist Club for hosting and allowing i2n to use this very cool venue.
