Business Networking Groups, Entrepreneur Organizations, and Resources in Silicon Alley
This is a guest post by Gary Whitehill who was kind enough to allow Founders Block to repost his article, originally published on March 26th, 2010.
Almost everyday someone asks me “where can I go to find XYZ.” I figured it would be easier if I wrote down a decent portion of the organizations I normally recommend to folks. Here in New York there are a plethora of events day in and day out. They include conferences, forums, meetups and workshops.
The frequency, quality, size and scale of events in New York for entrepreneurs, from the aspiring or idea-stage entrepreneur all the way up to the growth and acquisition-stage entrepreneur, can vary greatly.
Below is a list of organizations and resources that you as an entrepreneur here in New York should become familiar with, as well as a breakdown at what stage of your company’s growth the organization(s) would be most relevant for you:
