Last night, we kicked off Tech Founders NYC at AOL Ventures (AOLV) and it was awesome. Josh from GoodCrush literally called it “the best thing to happen to the NYC tech scene ever!” In all seriousness, it was great to see the huge turnout of engineers and I can’t thank Francis and Jake enough for including me in helping bring it to life.
A quick aside - when I started at AOLV a few months ago I was really happy to be given a ton of freedom around bringing events to our offices to add value back to the NYC ecosystem and help get AOLV out there. After a few months, it’s become pretty clear to me that the biggest resource needs are out of the engineering/technical community. As a result and other than the current things that I’m helping out with, we’re likely to only host engineering/technical meetups going forward (it’s all I can handle).
