This event brings together some of the City's leading venture capitalists and entrepreneurs — as well as a few out-of-town guests from around the Xconomy network with their eyes on the prize in New York — for an unparalleled afternoon exploring the Big Apple's venture emergence, the strategies of some of its hottest startups, and what challenges lie ahead for entrepreneurs and investors alike. Please join us for this unique afternoon featuring keynote chats, VC-entrepreneur stories about building great companies, and "burst" presentations from some of the city's most promising new ventures.
