The entrepreneurial culture of the Digital Age spawns legions of  dreamers and doers.  Many chase their dreams and eagerly take the plunge: they quit their jobs and launch a start up.

Some start ups succeed.  Many start ups fail. Most start ups face an array of legal, financial and operational challenges.

Our speaker will address some of the  issues entrepreneurs face  when conceptualizing, establishing, financing and then scaling their businesses.

Please bring your questions and scenarios.

This is part of a series of teleconferences and events featuring our speaker.

Note: This listing is for watching a live simulcast of the event at New Work City, not watching the main event in person at NYU. 

For the simulcast: join a small group of friends and fellow technologists to watch NY Tech Meetup live from New Work City. You’ll have a chance to connect and enjoy a beer, all while watching the demos at NYTM’s monthly event.

During any downtime that may occur, we’ll use the time to introduce ourselves and get to know each other. If there are any apocalyptic issues, we may call upon you to demo things yourselves

If you’re a New Work City member: we’ll hold some extra spots for you. Add yourself to the wait list if the event is full!

Want to sponsor the next simulcast? Email to discuss!

Interested in membership at NWC? Tony would love to talk to you! Email him at !
