Textbook Ventures: Angel Investor Networking and Deals
We're back again with more amazing companies!
Join Textbook Ventures and friends from Columbia, Cornell, and NYU for an evening of networking for accredited investors investing in early stage startups!
Whether you're an active investor already or looking to learn more about angel investing in startups as part of your portfolio, come enjoy drinks and snacks with your founder and angel peers and others supporting the best New York City startups.
We'll feature a short Introduction to Angel Investing (show up on time for that), with notes on deal flow, portfolio planning, and tax breaks (with Brown Rudnick's head of the VC and Startups practice Scott Smedresman!), followed by amazing live deals to get you started!
We're featuring some amazing entrepreneurs:
Mr. Bing - This Columbia grad's delicious chili crisp and other sauces are East Asian inspired and totally delicious... What started as a Beijing street food restaurant is now bringing the same flavors of Northern China to your supermarket shelf. Learn more about their amazing progress and their plans for growth in the next phase of their journey.
PopWheels - PopWheels is revolutionizing urban mobility with their e-bike battery swapping network. Born here in New York City to help delivery bikers, they've expanded to Philadelphia, Toronto, and Washington DC! Not only do they help the hardworking riders power through their day long shifts, they prevent battery fires in bodega basements... Hear about the amazing next steps - new cities and new uses for their distributed power grid.
If you're a current founder, come learn how you can begin using your knowledge and insights on building startups to angel invest now - you're likely already accredited because of your founding stake in your company!
Attendees should be interested in startups and meeting their investing peers - there's no requirement to invest and all interested and qualified investors will be invited to the Textbook Ventures angel syndicate, where they will have ongoing access to deal flow from the best startups from Cornell, Columbia, NYU, ERA and beyond.
