Price against its 50- and 200-day averages. Mechanical, not a recommendation.
02 · Real estate
Three metro housing markets
Median asking price, active listings and days on market from Realtor.com, home prices from the FHFA index. Inventory moves first, so that's what the read leads with.

What's being built
Building permits and zoning filings PermitParser has pulled from each town's own portal, by month. Counts are small, so read them as direction, not as a forecast.

Startups and how to get in
Private companies don't have a daily price. These are the channels where Connecticut deal flow actually shows up, and what to do with each.
State fund
Connecticut Innovations
The state's venture arm, and since 2021 the home of CTNext. Its portfolio is the clearest list of who's raising in-state.
Do Read the portfolio, then watch for follow-on rounds. A CI-backed company raising again is the warmest lead in the state.

Yale Ventures
Yale's commercialization office. Most of the New Haven biotech cluster on this page started as a Yale license.
Do Track its spinouts and demo days. The public names under "Emerging" above show what those spinouts become.
ventures.yale.edu →Angel network
Angel Investor Forum
Connecticut's long-running angel group: members see vetted pitches and invest alongside each other.
Do Join if you're accredited and want deal flow with diligence done by others. Start with small checks across several companies.

CT Angel Investor Tax Credit
The state has offered a credit against tax for cash invested in qualifying early-stage Connecticut companies.
Do Confirm the program is open and the company qualifies before you wire money. The credit is claimed up front, not after.

Reg CF platforms
Non-accredited investors can buy into startups through SEC-registered portals such as Wefunder and StartEngine.
Do Filter by Connecticut, and read the Form C financials. Treat the money as gone. Most of these returns come from one or two winners.

SBIR / STTR awards
Federal research grants to small companies, published with name, state, agency and amount. A CT company winning Phase II has proven tech and no dilution yet.
Do Search the awards for Connecticut every quarter. Phase II winners are a short list of companies worth a call before they raise.
