PRINCETON PROPELLERS 
What We Do

Established in 2016, the Princeton Propellers showcase technical innovation --- across the entire Princeton Gown & Vicinity ecosystem.  We do this by bringing together a diverse set of players whose paths would not normally cross:  faculty, students, alumni, venture capitalists, bankers, scientists, engineers, physicians, intellectual property attorneys, policy developers and other technical innovation stakeholders in the Greater Princeton area.

The Propellers are an initiative of the Princeton Area Alumni Association (PA3). We meet monthly at Quadrangle Club, 33 Prospect Avenue, adjacent to the Princeton Campus, the Second Tuesday of each month (September – June) 6 – 8 P, for a cocktail party anchored by an entrepreneur's issue-oriented talk and followed by vigorous Q & A.  Our slogan is "Getting Things Off the Ground --- and Bringing Them Back to Earth!"  That's what Propellers do.

Keep the Propellers Flying!

 The Propellers are entirely donations-funded.
