Traveling in an Airstream Classic, investor and entrepreneur Paul Singh took his North American Tech Tour to Groton this week for three days of roundtables, one-on-one consultations and fireside chats, all aimed at helping startup businesses.

His visit May 8-10 followed a one-day visit in the fall.

Ignite, an entrepreneur-supporting organization through Thames River Innovation Place, partnered with Crossroads Venture Group to bring Singh to Groton. Most of the events were held at the Innovation Commons, a lab and co-working space.
