NYC Founder and VC Roundtable

We had the privilege of hosting an in-person round table in partnership with FFVC in New York. Our guests included Founders, Venture Capitalists, and VPs of Tech and Data from established brands in NYC state. They each shared valuable insights on how to build international teams and enhance team performance, and the steps they take to retain top talent.

We also discussed some of the AI tools and ways to drive wider team efficiencies and cut down on the more manual tasks that can easily consume much of a founder’s time.
