Framingham, MA: Students from Framingham State University started a new chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO) this month. The first event will feature 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 EIC will be hosting  “Would you Invest?” on Thursday the 19th of February 2026.  Students have the opportunity to interact with the CEO, 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 cofounded by graduates from the Darden Business School. Recently, Anissa Buckley of B-Untethered joined the young company as the CEO. She earned her BS and MBA from Cornell University and has a background in marketing and as an entrepreneur. She has built and sold a company, and recently founded and operated B-Untethered, which is also focused on women’s health.

The startup has just embarked on the journey to raise its first institutional round of venture capital (commonly known as the “A” round). As the CEO, Anissa is responsible for raising financing so that the company can grow.

Founded in 1983, CEO is a 501 C 3 organization based at the University of Tampa. Its global network of university and college chapters numbers over 250. Framingham State University joins this esteemed group.

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.
