Good question. I'm not exactly sure what I want to get out of it. I guess meeting friendly founders would be ideal.
I am a hacker/founder, and I'm still surprised at the lack of NYC support we get. Why is nobody talking about us? Is banking that boring?
As a response, we've started a company to lend a public voice to NYC founders.
We have some good responses so far, but we've just begun. We're willing to highlight any NYC startup or founder with an idea, so start submitting.
