Who is mining the untapped (and far less expensive) investment opportunities overseas? And how does a game-changing, yet unknown, venture from abroad get on the radar of US investors to secure funding and expand globally? It's a growing problem that has yet be addressed — until now… DAY 1 — We'll hear from leaders of NY's venture community on exactly what it takes to raise funds, expand and integrate into the NYC startup ecosystem.
