The Founders Gathering with Two Sigma & Remote
We’re bringing together NYC’s most ambitious founders and startup leaders for an evening of connection and conversation, hosted in partnership with Two Sigma Ventures and Remote.
💬 Fireside Chat: Scaling Smarter in 2025
Capital is scarce, AI is everywhere, and the competition for talent has never been fiercer. In this fireside chat, Marcelo Lebre (Co-Founder & President of Remote) joins Colin Beirne (Partner, Two Sigma Ventures) to explore what it really takes for founders to scale in 2025.
Together, they’ll discuss:
How to stretch capital in lean times
Attracting and retaining talent without overspending
Separating AI hype from practical use cases
Navigating compliance complexity across US states and global markets
Expect actionable insights, meaningful connections, and a few surprises along the way. Tasty food and drinks will be served.
📅 When: Thursday, October 2
📍 Where: Exclusive venue in SoHo
⏰ Time: 6–8pm
