Breakfast with An Investor

Breakfast with An Investor

Good morning, All,

First, a big thank you to Brian Cohen, Chairman of the New York Angels, who spoke at our Cowork.rs brunch on Sunday. Great information, and thank you for staying and listening to everyone's pitch. We appreciate it- and according to those in attendance, it was a big hit!

Our next Breakfast with An Investor is this Wednesday, May 20th and we hope to see you there: it took us four months to nail down a date that fit into our guest investor Nnamdi Okike's schedule. He is Co-founder & Partner at 645 Ventures, a seed and early-stage venture capital fund that invests in software and Internet companies. While they launched just over a year ago, they’ve already invested in 15+ companies – and are actively looking to invest in more! Read More...
