NYC Coffee Club | Early-Stage B2B Founders & Funders
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 March coffee meet up with Alice, Naomi, and Lauren from the Forum team, alongside Youssef Kalad from AlleyCorp, in partnership with Escalon, and bring together early-stage B2B tech founders and VCs in NYC.
Request a spot to join and we'll let you know if you're in!
