Hello!
Happy Monday or, as we like to call it, TechDay Express-day. We think it will catch on. Mull it over while we announce some HUGE news:
The one, the only, PrimeTimeVC is headlining TechDay on May 10 at the Javits Center! Come see 4 VCs go head-to-head debating startup growth strategies, investment theses and recent tech news. Founders will then vote them off the stage and crown one winning VC!
The VCs taking the stage are Defending Champion Zehra Naqvi, Investor at Headline Ventures, and former PrimeTime Champions Chris Cunningham, GP at C2 Ventures, and Mac Conwell, Founder & Managing Partner of Rare Breed Ventures, with one more VC to be announced closer to the big day!
PrimeTimeVC and TechDay all in one day? You won’t want to miss it, so register today!
