NetDay New York

In the World's Financial Center not everything is bad news. Amidst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, you can find dreamers who decided to leave their suit and ties and start their own company. Iñaki Bereneguer(Pixable) and Andrew Cohen(Brainscape) are two great examples; New York City-based entrepreneurs that made their dreams of starting their own technology company outside of Silicon Valley a reality.

Please join us at the first NetDay New York event, where Iñaki and Andrew will share their stories and their conviction that nothing is impossible if you believe in it.

A networking reception will follow, sponsored by Ron Brugal and entertainment by the NYU Music Group.
