Framingham, MA – Students from Framingham State University started a new chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO) this month. The first event the group will host features a visiting high growth young company, Natuuri, that is raising its first institutional round of venture capital. The company is led by women and focuses on health solutions for women over 50.
Students and community members will be invited to learn more about Natuuri and evaluate the company from an investor’s viewpoint. The Entrepreneur Innovation Center at Framingham State University will be hosting “Would you Invest?” on Thursday the 19th of February 2026. Students have the opportunity to interact with the head of the company, who will deliver the pitch for funding just as she would to a real venture capitalist or team of such. Students will learn more about the art and science of fundraising through taking the perspective of an investor and playing such a role.
Natuuri is a women’s health startup based in Charlottesville, Virginia. The company is co-founded by graduates from the Darden Business School. Recently, Anissa Buckley of B-Untethered joined the young company as its Chief Executive Officer.
The startup has just embarked on the journey to raise its first institutional round of venture capital (commonly known as the “A” round).
Founded in 1983, Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization is a 501 C 3 organization based at the University of Tampa. Its global network of university and college chapters numbers over 250.
Planned activities by the FSU CEO chapter include more guest speakers from startup companies, “Pitch Fridays” and field trips, including one to Bryant University’s regional CEO summit.
