More info on tech week, the first week in June. If you are building, want to learn, want to network, or want free food and drink, then come to these events. There are so many (900) sponsored by the most prominent names. I signed up for the closing cruise around the NYC harbor, to start, looking at all the others,

Hi everyone 👋

I can't believe we've crossed 900 events already! If you’re building or fundraising, NY Tech Week is the week to show up.
Think AI infra, next-gen payments, scaling GTM, the evolving CFO stack, and how to raise capital in this market. There will be a ton of events for founders, seasoned operators, and VCs.
A few events I’m especially excited about:
💼 Fundraising
• Inside Venture Studios breakfast with Fenwick
• a16z speedrun One Last Round
• a16z speedrun fundraising office hours
• Women Tech Meetup: Raising on Your Terms with Puzzle
• Pre-seed + Seed Fundraising in Deep Tech by 2048 ventures
• The Future of Investing in Robotics - Perspectives from Founders and Funders with New York Robotics Network
💳 Fintech
• Fintech x AI: Shaping the Future of Finance
• Arthur x AWS AI Finance Leaders VIP Social Hour
• Khosla Ventures x Stripe x Brex x Orrick
• AI in Accounting with a16z, CPA.com & Adaptive
• Crypto Movers & Shakers Breakfast with Deel & Liquifi
• Global Fintech Report Launch with BCG & QED
There are hundreds of more events happening throughout the week! Full calendar's here if you're curious.

Also, if you’re hosting an event (or thinking about it), or want tips for getting social coverage, we pulled together some best practices for you.

See you in June!
