Calling all early-stage B2B tech founders and funders!
👋 I'm Olivia, Partner @ Forum Ventures, and there are few things I like more than coffee and community.
☕ I'm excited to host our Feb coffee meet up with Alice, Naomi, and Lauren from the Forum team, alongside Elias Mufarech, Brian Hollins and Andrew Peng from Collide Capital, in partnership with Escalon, and bring together early-stage B2B tech founders and VCs in NYC.
