Making the Leap: Transitioning from Finance to Startups

​NYC finance has always been a magnet for exceptional talent, and the skillsets honed by experience in private equity, hedge funds, S&T, and beyond are uniquely valuable to the startup ecosystem. In fact, former finance professionals have founded more than 20 unicorns (and counting!) over the last decade.

​However the path to tech - either as an operator or founder - can be surprisingly opaque.

​How do you pick the right startup? What role is right for your skillsets? How do you pick a cofounder? When should you fundraise? From the outside, these can be tough questions to tackle.

​To help bridge this gap, Primary and Eniac Ventures are bringing together a group of VCs, founders, and operators for an off-the-record, AMA-style evening to cover what you need to know to make the switch.

​Whether you're exploring startup opportunities, thinking about starting your own company, or just beginning to explore, we'd love to have you!

​What's Planned:

• ​6:00 - 6:30 PM - Welcome drinks and networking

• ​6:30 - 7:00 PM - Panel #1: Starting a company

• ​7:00 - 7:30 PM - Panel #2: Joining a startup

• ​7:30 - 8:30 PM - Continued conversation and wrap up

​Space is limited, please apply to attend.

​Huge thank you to Brex our co-host who is letting us use their lovely space.
