PROVIDENCE – The RIHub startup service is kicking off the new year with an open house at the organization’s 225 Dyer St. headquarters later this week, as well as the launch of a monthly series at its Newport location.

RIHub, located in the CIC Providence building, will host the networking event for “entrepreneurs, students and friends” from 2-4:30 p.m., with refreshments provided.

The event will be held on a drop-in basis and does not require registration.

The organization’s Newport entrepreneurial hub, meanwhile, will begin offering “Wednesdays with RIHub” programming every third Wednesday of the month. The sessions will provide entrepreneurs with free educational opportunities for growing their startups.

Over the next few months, future programming in the series will cover customer discovery strategies, what investors look for in startups, and a firsthand account for a high-growth startup entrepreneur.
